The 18th edition of the EN Awards saw a night of celebration and entertainment. Hundreds from the events industry gathered on Friday night at Park Plaza in Central London to commemorate the best in the industry. The awards were hosted by comedy duo Dick and Dom with live performances from Limahl, Sonique and Tinchy Stryder, representing the ’80s, ’90s and ’00s respectively.
The awards, sponsored by LiveBuzz, started by announcing the Pioneer of the Year Award. Presented by Mash Media founder Julian Agostini, the 2025 pioneer award was awarded to RX CEO Hugh Jones for his contribution, innovation and hard work he has put into the industry through the years.
In total, the night saw 23 winners. Winners included individuals who have gone above and beyond, the very best venues, cutting-edge suppliers and the stand out shows of the last 12 months.
The most successful company? Tahaluf. Racking up three awards in total, Tahaluf came away with most trophies on the night. ExCeL London, RX, Easyfairs and Nineteen Group also had multiple successes with two awards for each company.
