Powerful Events

Every year we host a black-tie dinner – the Powerlist Black Excellence Awards Dinner – to launch the publication and to recognise a small number of men and women we believe have showcased excellence in their field of endeavour over a number of years.

We will present a number of awards on the night: including the Community Award, the Executive of the Year Award, the Global Leadership Award, the PwC Purpose Award, Entertainer Award, Banking Professional Award, Literary Award, Woman of The Year Award, Tech Professional of The Year Award and the Powerlist Number One Award. 

The dinner has become, by a long way, the most prestigious event on the African/African Caribbean calendar, offering the ideal opportunity for you and your colleagues to network with key influencers. It is the most powerful room of black people assembled in one place in the UK in any given year.

Throughout the evening we will showcase examples of people of African, African Caribbean and African American heritage who are making waves at the very highest levels of commerce, science, education, community and in the arts.

The evening begins with a Champagne reception followed by a tasteful dining experience in the sumptuous Great Room, one of the most desirable venues in London.

The awards ceremony will then take place. We have lined up some great musical talent to provide entertainment at the event, but there will still be time to network too, as making contacts is what the dinner is all about. That will be followed by an after party for those who wish to let their hair down a little.
