With 2009 set to be one of the most tumultuous years in recent times, you really can't afford to miss this chance to celebrate what's great in print with the stars of our industry.We know you're busy, so this year we've tried to make it even better value to sponsor and attend.
It still takes place in the luxurious surrounds of the London Hilton with the awards presented by a celebrity host, but it is now a daytime event, allowing you to avoid unnecessary hotel bills.
We also have DsiCMM's chief Yolanda Noble as a keynote speaker to inspire and inform on the subject of business leadership - your stock in trade when you're at the front line fighting through a recession.
In addition, the event features workshops with experts on training and print buying to give you more tools to success for your business.
For sponsors, it's a chance to put your name up in lights in front of the most successful in UK print, and even if all you do is attend on the day, you've got yourself a ticket to the networking opportunity of the year. ____________________________________________________
Now in it’s third year, the Excellence Awards, run by PrintWeek and the BPIF, have proved to be an excellent marker and record for business acumen in the print sector. The breadth of categories encompass all the key areas that are so vital in maintaining a thriving business or indeed in these more challenging times, safely surviving the more ominous outlook. As the world and more local economies are put under stress it becomes even more important to work on best practice within business.
The Excellence Awards provide a superb opportunity for your company to show the hard work, talent and persistence that is evolving within your business sector. I would encourage you to enter these awards and then come along on the night to enjoy what has proved to be an excellent opportunity to network. I look forward to seeing you.

The BPIF PrintWeek Excellence Awards showcase the most innovative and creative companies in the Print Media Industry. In an industry where price-competitiveness and quality are taken as givens, optimal service and added value is key to success.
Excellence in business – as opposed to excellent printing - becomes crucial for businesses looking to stand out from the crowd and build a winning brand. Our awards stand out too, as the premier business event of the year. We look to our sponsors to help our winners promote their success to their peers and customers alike and in return your own brand will benefit by association with these outstanding companies.
In these tighter economic times suppliers are even more important in promoting distinction, and through this unique sponsorship opportunity you can help your customers and potential customers raise their game and leave the competition behind.
