Unlike some other so-called “Asian” industry awards run by companies based in another continent, the IAG Academy IR Awards is an actual in-person, high quality, black tie gala event. Organizer Inside Asian Gaming is an Asian born and bred company with a 19-year history and an in-depth knowledge of the people and companies who have made the industry what it is today.
Nominations close strictly at midnight Manila time at the end of Monday 12 August 2024, with official nominees to be announced on Monday 19 August 2024.
A select committee of the Judging Panel will choose the official nominees for each award category from amongst the nominations received during the public nomination period.
The IAG Academy IR Awards form part of IAG’s “Super September” at Manila’s Newport World Resorts from 9 to 11 September 2024, which also comprises the two-day IAG Academy Summit and networking social Manila After Dark.
“Super September” will re-brand as “IAG Expo” next year and will be held at Newport World Resorts from 8 to 10 September 2025. In addition to MAD, the IAG Academy Summit and the IAG Academy IR Awards, IAG Expo will include a full-scale exhibition with raw space exhibition stands and shell scheme booths.
