The Travelling for Business Awards celebrate the brands, organisations and leaders shaping the future of global business travel.

Returning to London on 22 October, the 2026 awards will bring together senior figures from aviation, hospitality, mobility, MICE, destinations and travel technology for an exclusive black-tie gala dinner recognising excellence across the business travel ecosystem.

Hosted at one of the City of London’s most immersive new event venues – Together 88 Wood Street – the awards are editorially led, independently judged and trusted by the industry, making them a genuine benchmark of quality and leadership.

Why the Travelling for Business Awards matter

This is not a volume awards programme or a pay-to-play exercise.

The Travelling for Business Awards are built on credibility, relevance and influence, rewarding organisations that genuinely deliver for today’s business traveller and the companies that support them.

They matter because they:

• Are editorially led by a trusted business travel media brand
• Attract a senior, decision-making audience
• Represent true category benchmarks, not popularity contests
• Offer year-round media amplification, not a single night of exposure

For brands operating seriously in the business travel sector, involvement signals leadership, credibility and commitment to excellence.

A premium industry event

The awards will be presented at a black-tie gala dinner in London, bringing together a carefully curated guest list that includes:

• Airline executives and aviation leaders
• Hotel owners, general managers and brand directors
• Corporate travel buyers and procurement leads
• MICE decision-makers and destination representatives
• Mobility, fintech and travel-technology innovators

This is a relationship-driven event designed for meaningful conversation, commercial connection and long-term partnership building — not mass attendance.

Sponsorship and partnership opportunities

The Travelling for Business Awards offer a limited number of strategic partnership opportunities, designed to align brands with category leadership rather than simple logo placement.

Opportunities include:

• Headline Partnership
• Exclusive category partnerships (one partner per award)
• Experience and immersive partnerships within the event
• Lifetime Achievement Award partnership

All partnerships are structured around:

• Category exclusivity — no competing brands
• Senior audience access
• Multi-touchpoint visibility before, during and after the event
• Editorial alignment with excellence and trust

Once categories are secured, they are closed.

Investment and value

Sponsorship investment reflects influence, exclusivity and long-term brand value, not attendance numbers.

Partners benefit from:

• Association with a trusted, independent awards programme
• Direct visibility among senior decision-makers
• Strong editorial and digital amplification
• Strategic positioning within their sector

Investment levels vary by partnership type and scope, with bespoke options available for brands seeking deeper integration or thought-leadership positioning.
