Exhibition News, EW's sister publication, is bringing The EN Indy Awards to London's Honourable Artillery Company on 2 November, celebrating the best smaller organisations and shows in the industry.
Organisers with a turnover up to £7.5million per annum, or larger companies for whom exhibitions contribute less than £7.5million per annum, were eligible for nomination.
EN editor Nicola MacDonald commented: "We're launching the EN Indy Awards to create a forum for the very best small and independent organisers to compete against their peers. It's fantastic to see the exciting and diverse companies and individuals who've been shortlisted for this year's inaugural event.
"Congratulations to everyone who has been shortlisted and see you on 2 November!"
