This is your opportunity to show how your products, services and how best practice has helped create standout work.

The Game Changer

This award will honour the best event, brand experience or supplier that led the way with a new idea in 2022/2023. It must have an element of innovation and differentiation, something which shows it is out of the ordinary or a step above the rest.

Venue Experience

This category is open to venues only. We’re looking for venues that have used their space in new and exciting ways. Have you created a new or innovative way of using the space?
