A panel of this year’s winners will share with us their tips for preparing a winning award entry, the high’s and the lows of the process and, along with an award judge, respond to a range of Q&A’s to help you prepare your entry. The entry timeline, with key dates, will also be announced.

Chaired by IBP President, Rebecca Evans, winners include: Colliers International (In-house Communications Team, winner), London Communications Agency (Best PR Consultancy Team, winning in two consecutive years and highly commended this year) and Goodfellow Communications (Best PR Consultancy Team 2017).

The session will be structured to address such issues as: how did the winners choose the work to enter and prepare for their entry? How did their online entry compare to the presentation to the ‘interview’ panel and did their focus change during the build-up to the final interview? What benefits have winners accrued from entering and winning an award?

The evening will allow plenty of time for you to ask questions of any of the speakers. The Q&A session with be followed by drinks and networking.

I recommend that you invest two hours of your time in learning how to win an award for yourself.
