The 2023 Memcom Excellence Awards

The 'Book Now' button is to book your tickets for the Awards Ceremony and not for the Spring Party

The Memcom Excellence Awards 2023 are independently judged by our expert panels who have been invited or have applied to become a judge. Many have judged with us several times and keep coming back!

Every year we invite experts and professionals from the world of membership to form our jury panel - from thought leaders, heads of associations, to consultants and suppliers working within the membership sector, each with an in-depth understanding of the industry's ever-changing landscapes.

This year's judges:

We are grateful to all our judges for their hard work to help make the Memcom Excellence Awards what they are.

If you ever get the chance to be a judge, take it! It’s a great opportunity to go under the bonnet on the workings of other organisations in the sector. You will see great ingenuity, creativity, things that you can apply to your own endeavours and your association. It is really hard as a judge not to be inspired, and to have your mind sparking with ideas when you're a judge for Memcom. And at the end of that, you get to critically judge someone else's hard work, which feels great! So I recommend it. One of the big thrills of being a judge is that you are part of a panel working with other really interesting people, leaders from across other organisations. And just for a short, divine moment in time, you're working together on a common aim and mission to identify who is the most deserving winner of this particular prize.
