Publishers of an industry-focused magazine and hosts of popular networking events throughout the year—their awards are kind of a big deal.

The events industry is full of so many deserving, hard-working, and creative people who make it one of the best industries in the world to work in, so please take a few minutes to cast a vote to ensure that hard work gets recognised! None of the awards categories are mandatory, and you can vote for as many or as few as you like! https://hubs.li/Q02nM5cb0 #EventProfs #EventAgencies #MITAwards

A week today we’ll be hosting the latest in our series of MPs Question Time events sponsored by Woodland Group. In the run-up to a General Election - and with many economic headwinds still prevailing - there's never been a more important time to ensure that Doncaster’s politicians are appraised of the challenges and opportunities facing your business. For those that have attended these events in the past, I’d also note that we will be giving it a bit overhaul, based on your feedback, to emphasise interactivity and be less reliant on pre-submitted questions. Hopefully, this subtle reboot will produce more spontaneous discussions and give you more of a chance to have your say.   On that note, I’ll personally be facilitating this session and will asking the attending politicians one question only before then going to floor for direct input from the business leaders in the room. We’ll also be asking attendees to contribute to a few anonymous polls on the day to ask how delegates are feeling about what they’re hearing and what’s going to influence their voting intentions. Despite the understandable frustrations that we all have with politics from time to time, the more businesses that attend events like these, the louder our collective voice is. If you’ve not yet booked on, get your voice heard by signing up here: https://lnkd.in/ePRVPdpq.
