EN is launching a new conference and awards dedicated to exhibition marketers.

As holders of the largest network of event marketers in the industry, Exhibition News constantly strives to improve standards within our community, and 2023 brings the launch of our inaugural EN Marketing Awards and Conference.

The EN Marketing Conference and Awards will be held at the Grand Connaught Rooms on 11 January.

This hands-on educational event will seek to provide exhibition marketers with a greater understanding of the tools and processes to simplify their event cycle and tangibly improve results for their respective projects.

This conference and awards will be an integral part of that nurturing process by offering an innovative new event for CMOs, marketing directors, marketing managers and marketing executives in the exhibition industry to share knowledge and experience, as well as celebrate the successes.

Launching the event managing director Julian Agostini said: “Marketing has long been underrated in the exhibition world yet it is the singularly most important factor in my opinion.

 “As a result we’ve launched a conference and awards dedicated to marketing in January 2023.”

Julie Driscoll, divisional managing director at Hyve Group, who will be on the judging panel for the awards, said: “Marketing is evolving rapidly and many within the exhibitions industry are doing incredible things to achieve best in class campaigns. It is great to have the spotlight on it.”
