Rushlight Awards Party

The Rushlight Awards 2017-18 Party will be held on Thursday 25 January 2017 at The Royal Geographical Society in London, following a full day at the Rushlight Show at the same venue.

We are continuing with the very successful format of last year by having a celebratory Awards Party running on straight after the Show. Entrants will be able to make group bookings and they can have a dedicated space at the event.

The dress code is business attire and attendees will be able to mingle and network freely. Hot buffet and drinks will be available.

The results of the awards will be announced, with certificates for the direct entry winners and trophies for the group winners and overall winners, which will be posted after the event.

We are also looking to repeat the one-to-one “surgeries” at the party where you will be able to queue up to talk with a key government department representative, a leading investor, a financier and an entrepreneur. These will be a bit like meeting your local MP (but possibly more productive!), hence the surgery tag, as well as a pun on the venue!
