How Awards Can Elevate Your Venue’s Profile Last Friday, the London Venue Awards celebrated the very best in the industry—congratulations to all the winners and nominees! These awards remind us just how powerful recognition can be for a venue. From boosting your reputation and increasing bookings to motivating your team, awards offer numerous benefits. But there’s also the cost vs reward debate—is entering awards worth it? While there are entry fees and time investments, the long-term ROI in terms of credibility, visibility, and client trust can far outweigh the initial costs. Looking ahead to the Eventex Awards 2025, this is another opportunity to position your venue as a leader. Remember, entering the right categories is key to showcasing your strengths and standing out. Awards aren’t just trophies—they’re tools to grow your venue’s success. Will you be in the spotlight next time?

The 2024 Emilly Hadrill Salon Conference & Gala was held on the weekend of the 27th-29th July. Over the next few days I’ll be sharing some of the highlights from the awards evening that was presented to celebrate the high achievers of the year gone by. Our first day of the conference was focused on self branding, and the importance of upholding high standards within ourselves. The night before presenting, in a moment of reflecting on the content I was presenting - VASA came to me. The 4 pillars to succeeding and achieving goals both personally & professionally. Enjoy, share & keep kicking goals! VASA Vulnerability Accountability Solutions Action The 4 steps to growth, achieving your goals, and ensuring you are in line with approaching life both personally & professionally with integrity. Vulnerability isn’t being weak. It’s voicing your desires, it’s being clear with your intentions, and being responsible for choices that might not have been made now you have the hindsight. Accountability. Every choice has a consequence, You need to be willing in life to accept responsibility for the good, the bad, and the ugly. Be gentle on yourself. The only real mistake is the one we learn nothing from. Solutions. Taking a moment (my best ideas come when I’m in the shower as I’m not distracted) to think of what it’s going to take to achieve, fix or reach that goal. You’d be surprised at how much you know when you take a moment to think of options. Action. If you made a promise to a friend or colleague, you wouldn’t let them down. So make yourself a promise and don’t let yourself down. Do you what you need to do to live the life you deserve.

Boris Kovaček: “CBEA’s mission is to push the limit in our industry” Q1: What do you consider the most important criteria when evaluating projects? Different projects have different goals, so the criteria is to achieve set goals. Sometimes it is the profit or promotion, and other times something else. We must set up a goal for the project and evaluate it according to this. Q2: How would you define the mission of the Conventa Best Event Award? The mission is to promote the industry and to push the limit. I will always support this. Read full story on KONGRES MAGAZINE Ahead of the CONVENTA Best Event Award 2024, the central and one of the oldest event competitions in Europe, we spoke to jury members who shared their thoughts on the most important event criteria, selecting winners and the role of event competitions.

Last week we attended the EVCOM Clarion Awards Ceremony (did we mention we picked up a few Gold awards?🏆🏆🏆😊). As much as we enjoyed being laden with trophies, winning was not the highlight of our evening. Our MD Liz Zutshi and Customer Relationship Manager loved the insightful and inspiring EDI panel discussion (you can watch it here https://lnkd.in/grQ34xz4) As a purpose-driven creative events agency we are committed to EDI both internally in our agency but also at our live events. Like many organisations we have a dedicated EDI team working to continue to develop our strategy and drive positive change. The challenge is to really push the needle on what EDI means in our agency but also in the industry at large. We always begin live event planning by assessing the attendee experience. In order to understand all attendee experiences we need a diverse and inclusive team. In the words of Ghandi, "If you want to change the world start with yourself". We know that we will all be better for sharing our EDI best practices and we would love to hear more about what our Industry friends are doing too. Inspired by this panel discussion we are focusing heavily in these areas over the coming 6 weeks: - Our clients are diverse, their customers are diverse and our organisations will be more successful with diverse teams. We know this to be true but how to we actively pursue this? A good place to start is to consider analysing the EDI data that you have collected. A simple way to start is to look at the data from recruitment, we lean on our recruitment partners to help us with this too. This all helps with evidence-based decision-making as we are basing on facts and data. - We all know story-telling is powerful so using real experiences to feed into an agency strategy can help shape hearts and minds. Like what was mentioned in the panel discussion we are developing internal networks and allies by sharing lived experiences. - As a values led organisation we really want to actively listen to ensure we represent all. Creating a 'safe space' where employees can challenge freely is the key to pushing the needle on EDI. We challenge ourselves to be more comfortable giving and receiving feedback. We invest in coaches like Zoe Tuffs from TIMES x10 Coaching to help develop a culture of feedback and active listening across the agency. We know we have further to go and we are always learning but we would love to hear more about what you do?

What's stopping you from entering your event or your company for an award this season? You worked hard to produce a fantastic event. Now it’s time to get the recognition you deserve; you are ready to enter either the ACE Awards, which are more geared towards caterers, or the Gala Awards, which feature categories for all types of events and producers.   Winning an award, and even receiving a nomination, has myriad benefits: * Build team morale within your company and with your creative partners * A nomination and win are tantamount to a third-party endorsement * The write-ups can be repurposed for content for months to come * It looks great in all your promotional material But, for some reason, the deadline comes and goes and so does another year for your chance to win an award. Why? As someone who has written, and judged, many awards over the years, I've addressed some common questions and concerns you might have have about entering awards in this article published today in Catersource. https://lnkd.in/gZP8NZfQ #awards #benefitsofawards #eventprofs

Vesna Vlasic: “European event competitions drive the industry forward” Ahead of the CONVENTA Best Event Award 2024, the central and one of the oldest event competitions in Europe, we spoke to jury members who shared their thoughts on the most important event criteria, selecting winners and the role of event competitions. Q1: What do you consider the most important criteria when evaluating projects? When evaluating projects, I prioritize creativity, sustainability, and goal realization. A standout event should captivate with a unique concept, incorporate eco-friendly practices, and effectively meet its objectives. Seamless execution within budget constraints showcases strategic resource management and planning. Q2: How would you define the mission of the Conventa Best Event Award? The Conventa Best Event Award aims to celebrate and elevate the event industry by recognizing projects that excel in creativity, innovation, and sustainability. Its mission is to inspire professionals to push the boundaries of possibility, fostering a culture of excellence and continuous improvement.

I have been judging the Arts and Culture category for the Toowoomba Chamber Business Awards this week. It's been an excellent opportunity to engage with the local creative community. I'm having a wonderful time learning about what happens behind the scenes and plans for the future. I have been honoured to be on the judging panel for many awards over the years. Here are some tips I apply: 1. Understand the Criteria 2. Research the Nominees. Look into each nominee's background, previous projects, and contributions. 3. Have some consistent questions in mind. During the Site Visits 4. Observe the Environment. Pay attention to the physical space. Sometimes ot tells you more than spoken words. 5. Engage with Artists/Staff: Take the time to talk with staff, or volunteers if there is opportunity. Their passion and dedication can provide insight into the culture. 6. Take Notes. Document your observations and thoughts during each visit. This will help you compare nominees later and provide detailed feedback. After the Visits 8. Reflect and Compare. Take the time to reflect on each nominee in person with your fellow judges. Remember different perspectives can enhance the evaluation process. 9. Provide Constructive Feedback. Whether or not a nominee wins, providing constructive feedback can help them grow and improve in the future. 10. Stay Objective. While personal preferences may influence your views, try to remain objective and base your evaluation on the established criteria. Toowoomba Chamber of Commerce
