British Book Design and Production Awards 2022 - New date announced

Due to the unforeseen circumstances in rail strike action being called on 7 November, we have had to make the difficult decision with our partners to postpone our British Book Design & Production Awards from 7 November 2022 to the new date of Wednesday 18 January 2023.

A majority of our current guests would have severe cost and logistic challenges that we did not foresee, hence in the interest of our attendees have made the decision to postpone.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused to all of those who have booked tickets. All confirmed tickets will of course be valid for the new date.

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to let us know. We can't wait to celebrate with you in the New Year.

HOST

BPIF are pleased to announce our host for the Awards this year is Sam McAlister!

Sam McAlister is a former criminal law barrister turned TV producer who spent a decade negotiating, securing and producing exclusive interviews with some of the world's most high profile personalities.

As the BAFTA-nominated interviews producer on BBC 2's flagship news programme Newsnight, Sam's role was to facilitate head-to-head pieces with wide-ranging subjects from Silicon Valley CEOs and world leaders to Hollywood superstars. In doing so, she has negotiated with organisations from Buckingham Palace to The White House and from Facebook to Tesla.

Working in a largely unseen role, Sam undertakes the delicate negotiations that underpin some of the biggest exclusive interviews in British news. Her exclusive secured interviews includes: Prince Andrew, Sheryl Sandberg, President Bill Clinton, Elon Musk, comedian Trevor Noah, James Comey and Google co-founder Eric Schmidt.

With skills honed over a decade in the BBC's elite news programme, we can't wait for Sam to host our evening.
