All entries go forward to an initial round of judging (stage 1) undertaken by our senior editorial team.  This will decide on the 2024 finalists.

The 2024 finalists will be announced on the awards website, via newsletter and on Insurance Times’ social media platforms on Tuesday 24th September.

Please contact us at events@insurancetimes.co.uk if you don’t receive an email within 24 hours of the official announcement. The email will be sent to the person who submitted the entry.

Stage 2 requires all finalists to present to our judges at a virtual meeting on Tuesday 22nd and/or Wednesday 23rd October. Please note: If you are shortlisted in multiple categories you may be required to present on both days. Presentations should complement your written submission, be evidence-based and include an overview of what you do and how you do it, with clear examples of where you have excelled and gone the extra mile. Additional information regarding the date, time slot and expected content will be emailed to each finalist once the schedule has been confirmed – usually a week or so after the official announcement.

We don't issue hard copy tickets for our awards events. When you book to attend you will receive a pdf invitation which you can share with your guests. Tickets are not required for entrance on the night.

To access your booking you will need the email address and password of the person who initially booked your table/tickets. Once you have this information, simply login and you’ll be able to view all the relevant booking information and submit your guest names and dietary requirements.

Table names must be submitted online, via the account of the person who originally made the booking.

We need the following details for each of your guests: full name, company name, email address* and dietary requirements**.
Please pay particular attention to the spelling and use of capital letters as we will print the details exactly as you provide them, in the awards programme and on the table plan. Please note that Insurance Times reserves the right to adhere to house editorial style as deemed appropriate by the brand.

*This will only be used to share joining instructions and the digital programme with your guests.
**There may be an additional charge for dietary restrictions requiring specialist meals, please contact the events team for more details.

All the above details must be provided no later than 5.00pm on Friday 15th November. Due to print deadlines, any names received after the deadline may not be included in the programme or on the printed table plan.

Yes, because as well as requiring details of any dietary requirements, we also print an internal copy of the guest list on the night so we can assist your guests with finding their table.

If you are a sponsor or have booked a Premium table package we will provide printed place cards as long as we’ve received all your guest names by the given deadline.

We do not provide place cards for standard tables. However, you are more than welcome to print them yourselves and send over to us in advance so we can lay them out for you. Alternatively, you can bring them with you on the night and we’ll allow you access to your table during the drinks reception to do so yourselves.

Your ticket/table includes a drinks package as specified on your confirmation email. If you would like to place an additional order please email events@insurancetimes.co.uk to request an order form which will be sent to you as soon as the menu is confirmed. Additional drinks will need to be ordered and paid for directly with the hotel.

Please note that you will also be able to purchase drinks on the night.

The menu will be sent with the joining instructions 2 weeks prior to the event.

No, all dietary requirements must be communicated in advance. If any guests fail to let us know by the deadline (15th November) then it's at the hotel's discretion to accommodate your requests.

No, all vegetarian meals must be ordered in advance.

Yes, but this needs to be ordered at least 48 hours in advance and there will be an extra charge as this has to be brought in specially. Please email us at events@insurancetimes.co.uk for more information.
