Judging Day 5th November 2015 Venue: Silver Sturgeon, Savoy Pier, London
Our aim is that the event benefits not only the winners but all finalists and in turn their companies. Consequently for the judging day we incorporate panel discussions into the day to make the whole experience more valuable for all the finalists in a very relaxed setting.
The judging day forum will take place concurrently with the judging process. When one set of finalists are having their interviews in the judging room, the rest of the finalists will be taking part in the panel discussions. After their interview, they will rejoin the panel discussions and the next set will leave to have their interviews and so on.
METHODOLOGY The judging day forum consists only of panel discussions, in which the panelists debate the session topics, after which the audience/finalists join in. As a discussion-focused panel, the moderator would lead off the panel by putting questions directly to each of the panelists.
If you are interested in attending the judging day to take part in the panel discussions, network with the speakers, finalists and judges please events@wisawards.com
