Women in Mice Awards deadline extended

The Planner Guru has announced that the deadline for the submission of nominations for the 2021 Women in MICE Awards has been extended to 30 July 2021.

"Given the recent challenges we have faced in South Africa and in particular, in the wake of the ongoing lockdown following the recent spike in cases, we feel it is only fitting to allow the industry additional time to collate their nominations," says Shanna Jacobsen, managing editor.

The awards play a vital role in providing a platform that motivates, inspires and supports women in the industry to achieve their personal and professional goals. It also connects women in the industry to leverage their reach and resources, creating a community of economically empowered women.

The awards were postponed last year; judges will, therefore, consider efforts made during both the 2019-2020 and 2020-2021 periods.

"As we have seen during the crisis with diversity, equality and inclusion a hugely topical theme, the marginalisation of certain groups requires urgent attention. The Women in MICE Awards have consistently recognised the crucial role women play within the MICE industry but also in our homes, and we feel it is more important than ever to award the efforts that are making a difference to how we both work and live," concludes Shanna
