Attend the 2020 British Insurance Awards on 17 November

BIA Dinner 1

The British Insurance Awards might have lost its traditional venue the Royal Albert Hall and an in-person audience this year, but it is still set to have all the pizazz, glitz and fun you’d expect from the most prestigious event in the industry calendar.

The 2020 event will be held next week on 17 November at 7:30pm live from a studio featuring two celebrity hosts, Jonathan ‘Swifty’ Swift and a host of surprises that we’re keeping close to our chest for now in true BIA tradition.

Sign up to watch it – for free – online, whether you are nominated or not. But please don’t wait until the last minute, as we won’t be able to guarantee you access if you apply after 6:00pm on Tuesday 17 November.

And that is not all, we have a host of interactive competitions, so everyone can get involved in what promises to be memorable and evening.

This includes keeping refreshed with one of our special awards cocktails and mocktails including the MOJ-ito and BIAlini.  Post a picture of it to twitter to win a now ‘sold out’ Jo Malone Advent Calendar.

There will also be prizes for the best dressed, best awards dance and, naturally, your pets – so you could be in with a chance to win a Fortnum and Mason hamper, an iPad 10.2, a Nesprosso Essenza Mini Coffee Machine with Aeroccino or John Lewis Vouchers

So join in the fun and let’s see out 2020 with a night to remember.
