New M&I Supplier Awards Categories

On the final night of all M&I events, we host an Awards to celebrate the exceptional buyers and suppliers who contribute to the success of our events.

The Awards serve a dual purpose; it’s all in the spirit of friendly competition but it’s also to encourage the highest performance from every supplier over the course of the event.

And this November we are excited to introduce new supplier award categories, which will debut at M&I VIP Costa Mujeres, Mexico.

These new awards are designed to recognize what makes a supplier stand out in the eyes of our buyers, highlighting the qualities that define excellence and set top suppliers apart.

Our new supplier awards will run alongside our existing buyer awards categories.

See the new Awards and changes below.

New Supplier Awards Categories

Best Pitch Award

This award recognizes the supplier who delivers the most compelling and engaging presentation. It honors those who showcase their offerings with clarity, passion, and an undeniable spark that captures the attention and interest of buyers.

Best Venue Award

This category is reserved for the supplier who presents an outstanding venue. Whether it’s a focus on stunning aesthetics, exceptional facilities, or unique atmosphere, this award celebrates venues that leave a lasting impression.

Best Discovery

This special award is for an unexpected gem – a supplier that offers something new, interesting, or unexpectedly exciting. They uncovered a standout service or product that buyers didn’t anticipate.

How to vote for these new award categories

Within the Wyred app, which houses all of our event information, votes can be cast throughout the event. Each buyer is invited to tap the Thumbs Up (the meeting was good) or Thumbs Down (the meeting was bad) buttons under each of their meetings – it’s as easy as that!

If the meeting was good and the buyer has selected the Thumbs Up option, they can then decide to nominate the supplier for any number of the categories available. The buyer can also select multiple suppliers for each category.

The supplier with the most nominations in each category will take the award at our coveted ceremony on the last night of the event.

What about our Buyer awards?

We will also be recognizing 3 outstanding buyers at this event:

  • The Most Valuable Buyer (winner and runner up)
  • The Most Valuable Buyer Newcomer

The winners of these categories will be decided thanks to the ratings submitted by suppliers after each meeting, also using the Thumbs Up or Thumbs Down buttons within the Wyred app.

See you at an M&I event soon

If you’re coming along to M&I VIP Costa Mujeres, Mexico, please do explore the Wyred app and make sure you have your say in the Awards nominations. 

We strive to make our delegate’s event experience as valuable and productive as possible, and our Awards really push those attending to use their 1-2-1 meeting time wisely, and have constructive and open conversations.
