From the moment guests arrive on the red carpet, the atmosphere is one of sophistication and celebration. Enjoy pre-dinner drinks, a three-course meal, and live entertainment, followed by the formal awards presentation – spotlighting the most innovative, sustainable and inspiring work across our profession.
