Call for entries launched for 2008 Motivation Awards
The event is endorsed by both the VA and PIF. It will, for the first time, allow prepaid professionals to celebrate the best in prepaid across a range of industry categories. And you will have the opportunity to influence who wins by voting for the nomination you think should win each of five Prepaid Awards.
The evening will commence with a champagne reception, offering you the opportunity to view the award entries. Before heading into dinner in the Ball Room, you will be invited to vote for your personal winner in each category. The category winners will be announced after dinner, before the evening entertainment commences.
This promises to be an enjoyable and enlightening evening, offering you the opportunity to spend time with clients and colleagues reflecting on the best that the industry has to offer from around the world. There is an early bird price for tables, and as a VA Member, you are entitled to a further discount on top of this.
For further information about the evening, and to book your table, please contact Polly Burlingham at polly.burlingham@prepaidawards.com.
