Voting for The M&IT Awards 2013
coming soon!

 

This is your opportunity to ensure that the right organisations take the honours at the 2013 Meetings & Incentive Travel Industry Awards.

 

The strength of the M&IT Awards is its democratic process. There are no judging panels, no vested interests and no favours. Your votes decide! But more than anything, the success of the M&IT Awards depends upon a high volume of voting – the greater the number, the more likely the result is to reflect the views of the market. The votes are counted by the independent Audit Bureau of Circulations (ABC) and therefore nobody can question the validity of the results.

 

Voting for The M&IT Awards 2013 will shortly be open. Vote for your favourite suppliers and you will automatically be entered into the prize draw. Details of this year's prize will appear here soon.
