All 350 tickets (£30 a head plus VAT) have been sold for the black tie dinner in the Pennine Suite Conference Centre at the Last Drop Village Hotel.
Kudos and top cash prizes are on offer in various categories including Company of the Year and Business Person of the Year.
Other presentations will reward innovation, exporting prowess, small firm success and the special achievements of an ethnic business.
Judges selected the winners from a shortlist of 39 whittled down from more than 100 original entries.
