    Frequently Asked Questions

    Is the event seated or standing?

    The dinner is fully seated at round tables of 10. Pre-dinner drinks are a standing cocktail format.

    Can I swap seats with a colleague?

    Seating has been arranged to facilitate cross-team networking. We ask that guests remain at their assigned tables for the meal.

    Will there be a formal awards presentation?

    This year's recognition is integrated into the dinner programme rather than a separate awards show format.

    Is there a hotel room block available?

    Yes — a discounted room rate has been arranged at the venue hotel. Contact the event team for the booking code.
