The deadline for nominations for this year’s Business Travel People Awards, initially set for today, has been extended until Friday March 24 at midday.
The prestigious annual industry awards celebrate individuals and teams whose professionalism and business excellence make them stand out from their peers.
“We know how much effort goes into the submissions for the awards and we’ve had a few people request extra time to enter, so we’ve extended the deadline,” said Kirsty Hicks, Publisher of The Business Travel Magazine and organiser of the event.
There are 15 categories in 2023, the 12th year of the awards, representing a range of individual and team roles across all sectors.
Submissions are required for 14 of the categories and a 15th award, the Chair’s Award, is a special, additional award, chosen by the Chair of the Judging Panel, to recognise an individual or team that has demonstrated particular excellence in their category.
The winners will be announced at a ceremony on September 25 in London.
Companies interested in sponsorship and partnership opportunities can find more information in this media kit.
