The Women in MICE Awards 2026 has officially reached another exciting milestone, with nominations and event registrations now officially closed.
Over the past few months, we have been humbled by the incredible support received from across the MICE industry. From heartfelt nominations recognising outstanding professionals to the overwhelming response from those joining us on the evening, this year’s awards continue to demonstrate the strength, passion and spirit of our industry.
We would like to extend our sincere thanks to every individual who took the time to nominate a colleague, mentor, leader or industry peer. Every nomination represents a story of dedication, innovation and excellence, and we are truly inspired by the calibre of professionals who have been recognised.
With nominations now officially closed, the next phase begins. Our independent panel of judges will carefully review each submission through a confidential judging process before selecting this year’s finalists and winners. As always, the integrity and fairness of the Women in MICE Awards remain at the heart of everything we do.
We are equally delighted to confirm that event registrations have now been finalised, and we look forward to welcoming nominees, finalists, industry leaders, partners and guests to what promises to be a memorable evening of celebration on Wednesday, 5 August 2026, at Monte de Dios, Pretoria.
Behind the scenes, preparations are now in full swing as our team works on the final event details. From trophy production and event logistics to entertainment, guest experiences and final programme planning, every detail is coming together to ensure an exceptional celebration of our industry’s finest.
At the same time, we are putting the finishing touches on our final partnerships and sponsorships, and we would like to thank every organisation that has chosen to support the Women in MICE Awards 2026. Your partnership plays a vital role in helping us recognise and celebrate the outstanding individuals who continue to drive our industry forward.
