The Meetings Industry Marketing Awards (MIMA) has attracted a record level of sponsorship from leading industry brands, despite the tough economic climate.

The big boost in sponsorship reflects a 10 per cent increase in the number of entries and record ticket sales for the presentation dinner which takes place at London’s Riverbank Park Plaza Hotel next month. The short list of finalists for the awards will be announced later this week.

The Marketing Awards - organised by Meetings & Incentive Travel magazine - focus on best practice in marketing throughout the events industry for all in the supply chain, from venues and destinations to event management agencies, examining best practice in all disciplines from online advertising to live events. Sponsors for this year’s event include Marriott UK & Ireland, Twickenham Experience, London Stock Exchange, Rezidor UK & Europe, Noble Events, Southern Sun Hotels, BDRC Continental and Adelaide Convention Centre.
