The
2022 ABPCO Excellence Awards will take place on Friday 9 December at
Birmingham ICC, supported by the West Midlands Growth Company.
After
a summer hosting sporting excellence at the Commonwealth Games, Birmingham will celebrate excellence among ABPCO members and the
wider association and not for profit industry.
2022
marks the ninth ABPCO Excellence Awards, which take place in different
destinations across the UK each year.
This
year’s awards will see an increase in categories as well as an opportunity for
non-members to enter the awards for the first time.
The
Awards, which will take place over lunch on Friday 9 December, will be
preceded by educational sessions in the morning as well as an evening
networking event on Thursday 8 December.
Association director Heather Lishman said: “Birmingham is a fantastic location for our
awards, particularly so soon after its hosting of the Commonwealth Games.
We are grateful to the ICC team as well as the West Midlands Growth Company for
their support and sponsorship of the event, which will showcase all the city
has to offer. Located in the heart of the UK, Birmingham is accessible to
all our members and we look forward to welcoming them as well as non-members
for our annual celebration of success this December.”
Donna
Cunningham, conventions sales director, NEC Group, said: “This is a fantastic
year for Birmingham and the perfect moment to welcome ABPCO members, clients
and industry colleagues to our city. As the events sector bounces back, we look
forward to coming together to celebrate excellence at the awards. We are
proud to highlight Birmingham as a vibrant, exciting and connected city ready
to host association conferences and events.”
