"This year's roster of finalists for the IWFM Awards is exceptional," says IWFM Awards chair of judges, Steve Gladwin.
"When market conditions are tough it's easy to dismiss celebrations as trivial and overlook the chance to stand among peers and recognise all the achievements made by teams and by organisations throughout the year. It's at occasions like our Awards and the afterglow that follows, that we recognise some of the best work happening right now in our profession.
"That's why it's more important than ever that we come together as a community to celebrate achievements of distinction, so I urge all those involved in our profession's future to attend."
The winners will be announced at the Awards ceremony at London's Grosvenor House Hotel on Monday, 14th October. Tickets and tables are now available.
