Warwick Conferences Sweeps the Board at Industry Awards

Warwick Conferences has added to its already heaving awards cabinet after once again sweeping up at this year’s prestigious Meetings & Incentive Travel (M&IT) Awards.

The University of Warwick-based training and conference venue bought home three golds and a silver at the awards, dubbed the ‘Oscars’ of the meetings and conference industry.

For the second year running, Warwick Conferences secured a top award in every category in which it was nominated and this is the 16th time in the awards’ 20 year history the venue has taken home the gold award for Best Academic Venue.

Warwick Conferences also won gold in the Best Conference and Banqueting Staff and Best Value for Money Conference Venue categories, and was presented silver in the Best UK Management Training Centre category.

The M&IT Awards are voted for by conference organisers and the readers of M&IT, the conference industry’s leading publication.

These latest accolades are a tremendous boost for Warwick Conferences and cement its reputation as truly world-class facility, drawing the attention of delegates from around the globe.

Alan Robinson, director of training and conference centres, said: “We’re absolutely thrilled to have once again come away from this year’s ceremony with an award in every category for which we qualified. This is a fabulous result and credit is due to everyone who has worked so hard to make Warwick Conferences the world-class venue it is.

“To bring home gold for Best Academic Venue for the 16th time in 20 years is absolutely delightful and a huge compliment about the service and facilities we provide. That the awards are the result of votes cast by event organisers, the very people who use facilities like ours, is all the more gratifying. It’s the most credible endorsement a business could wish for.

“The industry as a whole has faced a lean couple of years, but the fact that we have thrived is a testament to our staff’s hard work, professionalism and passion for making Warwick Conferences a genuine leader in our industry.

More than 700 guests attended this year’s prestigious black tie event, which took place on Monday 28th February at the Park Plaza Westminster Bridge in London, and was hosted by popular BBC news presenter Kate Silverton.
