The shortlist for the 2022 EN Awards has been announced.
Now in their 15th year, the EN Awards is a must attend event for the industry, delivering a fantastic night of networking, celebration and the chance to recognise the achievements of individuals, teams, shows and companies over the last 12 months.
This year sees some new awards for ESG strategies and diversity and inclusion initiatives.
Exhibition News deputy editor Emily Wallin said: “The number and quality of entries this year is testament to the exhibitions industry’s resilience and sure sign of a return to rude health. We are delighted to see some exciting new faces amongst the shortlist, as well as the return of some familiar names.
“We cannot wait to celebrate with the very best of the industry at Evolution London on March 18.”
The awards are headline sponsored by CircData, Hubilo and Olympia London.
