The Awards dinner and ceremony followed the SIXTEEN:NINE ISE Mixer and combined Welcome drinks for the Awards ticket holders. It took place from 6.00pm on Thursday February 2, 2023 at the Esferic Events Center, Montjuic, Barcelona, when drinks and canapés were served to stave off any post-exhibition day hunger pangs. The Mixer and Welcome drinks took place on the ground floor level of Esferic and was followed by the Awards dinner for Finalists, sponsors and judges at 8.00pm on the second level.

Even though generous canapés were served with drinks during the Mixer/Welcome, Awards guests enjoyed a three-course dinner of very high calibre. The Awards ceremony started promptly at 9.45pm and lasted for a brisk 45 minutes.

The Esferic Events Center is a beautiful venue but it is not enormous. If you wish to be sure of your places at the Awards dinner and ceremony, including attending the SIXTEEN:NINE Mixer and Welcome drinks, please book as soon as you can once the booking form re-opens for 2024.

As many of you know, 2022 was a troubled year for the Awards and the organisers apologised for being so profoundly affected by events beyond their control. They are still tidying up a few matters from 2022, including final distribution of some trophies and making some refunds. All these matters will be dealt with as speedily as possible over the coming weeks.
