Presented by the BTN Group, the awards ceremony will take place at the JW Marriott Grosvenor House, London, on 30 September.
“After a tough few years in the industry we are looking for those that have gone above and beyond,” says Emma Lamb, global travel safety specialist at Meta and one of 27 travel managers that comprise the independent judging panel.
Benoit Gascoin, senior travel manager, Partners Group AG, adds: “I’m honoured to have the opportunity to provide my views on who should be rewarded for their hard work and innovation, and I’m excited to discuss with my peers the best-in-class products and latest developments in our industry.”
“Being a judge gives me a deeper insight into the industry, the innovations and the achievements of my peers, as well as broadening my network when connecting with the other judges,” says Merete Minnet, group travel manager, FLSmidth. “Celebrating and rewarding our colleagues in the industry also encourages oneself to go the extra mile to maybe one day being the one on the podium.”
