On 9 December 2021, leaders, innovators, and industry professionals gathered in London for the 8th Annual International Brilliance Awards™, celebrating outstanding achievements across Business, HR, Internal Communications, Marketing, and PR.

Held at the prestigious Sheraton Grand London Park Lane Hotel, the evening brought together organisations and individuals whose work demonstrates true brilliance, measurable impact, and excellence in execution, particularly following a period of global turbulence.

A Night of Celebration

Guests were welcomed by the evening’s host, mindfulness practitioner Kareen Griffiths from Calmify, who opened the ceremony by congratulating the finalists for their resilience and dedication. Organised by BOC Global Event Group, the gala dinner served as a vital moment to recognise the immense positive impact the industry has had on employees and businesses worldwide.

The ceremony guided the audience through an elegant evening that included a celebratory gala dinner and unique live entertainment. A surprise performance by the Drum Café team, featuring a mesmerising South African drumming number, energised the room before guests continued the celebration with music from DJ Padrino.
