Gaby Cartwright, Head of Partnerships - LIVE & The LIVE Awards said, “This year’s shortlists are incredibly strong and represent the amazing work that individuals and companies have done over the last year. The LIVE Awards is a fantastic opportunity to celebrate our sector’s achievements and to applaud the excellent work being carried out across the whole industry.”

Jon Collins, CEO of LIVE said, “The LIVE Awards are an important fixture in the industry calendar and directly fund LIVE’s work across Government. It is also a great night that gives us all a chance to get together and celebrate our peers while acknowledging the cultural and commercial impact we have made during the previous 12 months. This year’s finalists are fully deserving of their places on the 2024 shortlists, and we look forward to revealing who the winners are at the ceremony in December.”

Limited tables and individual seats for the awards are still available and include a welcome drinks reception, dinner with wine and petit fours, three hours of complimentary drinks, and an afterparty that goes on into the early hours.

As LIVE’s primary annual fundraising event, all proceeds from the awards will go towards directly supporting our ongoing work engaging government on a range of sector critical issues and will help support our members to meet their sustainability goals while fostering a more diverse, equitable and inclusive working environment (more info here)
