Secure your spot now
It is such a special occasion when the industry comes together for the awards, so we won't call it networking but catching up with industry friends and making new ones is one of the highlight of the evening. We enjoy drinks and canapes before we sit down to dinner so there is plenty of mingling time both before and after the 2024 winners are announced.
Our celebrity MC for the evening to guide us through the formalities is Andrew Barnett is best known as Barney to the audiences of Fox Sports, where he is resident funny man on Sunday Night with Matty Johns and The Back Page. Barney is also an experienced, award winning stand up comedian. Join us for laughter, possibly tears of joy and an all round top notch night out.
Just a reminder of who is in the running for the awards this year.
