WHY PARTICIPATE

The African Professional Awards dinner is a platform to...

Advertise While Having Fun 

A good opportunity to conduct business by advertising companies' products and services in a relaxed and fun networking environment, coupled with lots of anticipation at the Awards Finals with your team over a gala dinner and champagne!

Reward and Motivate Your Team 

Morale at your workplace increases just by being a nominee. Staff enjoy working for companies that achieve. Winning or being shortlisted for an Award makes Board members and employees feel their contribution to the business is recognised.

Feedback 

You will receive valuable feedback from our panel of impartial, independent, and expert industry Judges. Make it through to the Finals and you will receive your very own benchmarked feedback report, which  will either provide reassurance that you’re doing everything right or offer pointers to help you take your project to the next level.

Professional Networking Platform 

Being a nominee at the African Professional Awards gives you access to the largest network of over 800 public sector and business leaders and influencers, including senior business executives and professionals from a truly diverse mix of companies, whether private or government, large or all within one hour. A one-hour cocktail networking session, allowing the awards, the awarding board, and the honourees cocktail networking session to share ideas with business leaders and senior executives, is allocated before the dinner and awards session.

Return on Investment 

Awards influence buying decisions! Boost Marketing, the largest Awards entry consultancy, found that over 80% of businesses and consumers surveyed were influenced by awards, and almost half (49%) of those surveyed  agreed that award-winning suppliers deliver superior products and  services. This was the number one factor in selecting the awards, the awarding board, and the honourees.

Winning An Award 

Winning  an award can really set you apart from your competitors and help you  promote your business. It actually increases your visibility locally and  internationally.

Our  media and publicity partners will profile you and your accomplishments  in the media. The African Professional Awards would be well-publicised. This allows the awards, the awarding board, and the honourees to raise  their profile and tell their story. Our media partners will also assist your company to get the  most out of the awards.
