IABC/Toronto’s OVATION Awards celebrates excellence in communications safely in-person this June

IABC/Toronto invites Greater Toronto Area communications and marketing professionals to the sector’s most prestigious awards ceremony, the OVATION Awards.

TORONTO, May 3, 2022 – The Toronto chapter of the International Association of Business Communicators (IABC/Toronto) is thrilled to announce that, after two years of virtual events, the 37th annual OVATION Awards event will be held in-person at the Berkeley Fieldhouse on Thursday, June 16, from 6 to 9 PM.

Each year, IABC/Toronto celebrates the talent and creative brilliance of the Greater Toronto Area’s (GTA’s) marketing and communications community through the prestigious OVATION Awards. The awards recognize communications and marketing excellence across a broad range of disciplines, including corporate communications, public relations, media relations, advertising campaigns and more.

“The OVATION Awards ceremony is the event communications, PR and marketing pros wait for all year,” said Mandy Gibson, IABC/Toronto President . “It’s a great opportunity for industry professionals to support and celebrate the best work of our peers. We’re looking forward to welcoming our community back safely to our first in-person awards in two years. The evening promises to be a chance to connect in a casual atmosphere, while getting a front-row seat to celebrating the best talent in the GTA.”

This June 16, IABC/Toronto invites the GTA’s marketing and communications professionals to celebrate the award winners whose work has been evaluated against the Global Standard of the Communications Profession using IABC’s Seven-Point Scale of Excellence.

In addition to the award winners, IABC Canada’s 61st Master Communicator (MC), Maliha Aqeel, PMP®, SCMP®, MC will be honoured at the event for this lifetime achievement. Aqeel is founder and CEO of the IDEAS Collective, a past-president of IABC/Toronto and has been nominated as Vice Chair for IABC’s International Executive Board for 2022-2023.
