Conference Centres of Excellence member venues scoop significant golds at M&IT Awards


Four Conference Centres of Excellence member venues took home coveted gold awards at the annual Meetings & Incentive Travel Awards held this week and celebrated in style with their industry colleagues and peers. 


The Meetings & Incentive Travel Industry Awards was held in on Tuesday 19th March, with record attendance and sponsorship levels. More than 1,000 people celebrated the best in the industry at Battersea Evolution in London, with an event hosted by TV broadcaster Kate Silverton.


Conference Centres of Excellence were once again well represented with several member venues shortlisted as finalists in 6 out of the 8 UK conference venue categories. More than 4,200 votes were cast by industry peers to crown the top venues, suppliers and agencies, with a number of nominees scooping awards in more than one category.


Imago Burleigh Court earned gold for Best Conference and Banqueting Staff, The Møller Centre, Cambridge, won the gold award for Best UK Management Training Centre,and Warwick Conferences also had multiple award wins with gold in Best Value For Money Conference Venue (Scarman) and Best Academic Venue (The Conference Park). 

“We are delighted to see our member venues winning these awards, in some cases for several years running” commented Anthony Lishman, Executive Director. “These awards are particularly important in the meetings and event calendar as they measure success from a customer’s perspective and demonstrate consistent quality standards in both service and facilities.” 

The event also raised in excess of £63,000 for its charity partner Save The Children, with both an online auction prior to the awards, and a table raffle on the night of the event.
