We’re full swing into the summer holiday season, but that doesn’t mean that the events business stops!
Since the beginning of August, the events team have been keeping busy with promo work for Transport for Greater Manchester’s new GetMeThere card and services. We’ve been travelling across the Greater Manchester region handing out delicious brownies to members of the public.
This week, we’ve managed the On the Tools Awards judging session, where our finalist for 2017 event we’re decided. You can now vote for your winners in selected categories open to nomination here. The winners will be announced over a lavish gala dinner with awards ceremony at the Edgbaston Cricket Ground in Birmingham on Friday 20 October.
June & July Overview
Don’t Panic have been keeping busy over the past few months with events non stop! From corporate awards to digital conferences, we’ve been keeping our fingers in all event pies that we’ve been too busy to blog!
FSB London Business Awards
The FSB London Business Awards took place on Thursday 20 July and rewarded exceptional small businesses from across the region. The 2017 awards took place on at the Emirates Stadium, London, where over 100 guests joined us for a fantastic night of food and celebration.
SAScon
The annual SAScon conference brought the best UK’s digital marketers, social and search specialists to the Contact Theatre in Manchester. Taking place over two days on 20 – 21 July, the conference showcased the latest thinking and technologies in digital marketing, with talks from big brands such as SnapChat, Facebook and JustEat.
PRCA DARE Awards
In July, we wrapped up our five regional events for the PRCA Dare Awards – with the final ceremony taking place at the Emirates Stadium in London. The PRCA Dare Awards strive to seek out and reward the very best PR and communications professionals across the UK. We handed out 83 trophies to our well deserved winners across all five regions.
Everyone Matters Awards
Another successful event to take place in July was the Everyone Matters Awards, an annual celebration of the contribution that Tameside and Glossop Integrated Care NHS Trust employees, as individuals or teams, have made to the service. It truly was an hour to recognise the individuals and teams who have shown exceptional quality, going above and beyond what is expected of them.
