Birmingham City Council has been confirmed as a headline partner for Greater Birmingham Chambers of Commerce 's 2023 annual dinner and awards.

The council is one again showing its support for the region 's biggest business dinner, which is returning to the ICC in Birmingham on Thursday 16 March, 2023.

Around 1,200 people are expected to attend.

Once again, 12 sector awards will be handed out on the night, with one of the category winners going on to be crowned the overall Greater Birmingham Business of the Year (sponsored by Crowe).

“The awards showcase the very best of Birmingham 's thriving business community, providing a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the talented people who are helping to drive our city 's economy forward.
