Event Awards categories revealed

For the first time, the Event Awards will be recognising the young talent working within the industry by including a Rising Star category, while Supplier of the Year has been divided into sub-categories to ensure everyone from crewing and staffing agencies to AV and furniture companies have an opportunity to celebrate their work.

Other changes include Caterer of the Year, which will see the shortlisted companies given the same two briefs that they will have to recreate in a live tasting environment, while the Green Award has become Sustainability Initiative of the Year so that agencies, suppliers and venues will have the opportunity to showcase the initiatives they have implemented to help create a more sustainable industry.
