After some heated debates, a panel of independent industry experts has decided the shortlist for the 2017 European Office Products Awards (EOPA).
Held at the beginning of December in Geneva, Switzerland, the judges had a tough day whittling down the record number of nominations into a list of finalists. The winners of the 14 categories will be announced during a special Gala Dinner which will be held as part of OPI’s Partnership event in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, on 8 March 2017.
For more information and to book your place at the dinner (which is open to anyone, not just attendees of the Partnership event), please visit EOPA 2017
