Awards set to rally
industry
32,000
exhibitions globally
Mash Media, publisher of Exhibition
News, has announced that the
Exhibition News Awards (ENAs) will
now be held on 9 October 2020 at
Evolution London, from 18.30pm.
The new date, confirmed shortly
after the government gave the go
ahead for events to take place from
1 October, will mean that the ENAs
is set to be the first major industry
event since lockdown began in March
this year.
Duncan Siegle, publishing director
of Exhibition News, said: “The EN
Awards is always a fantastic night and
a chance to celebrate our outstanding
industry, but this year it will mean so
much more to us, our guests and the
events industry as a whole. Being one
of the first events back, and certainly
the first for the events industry,
allows us to put on a fantastic night
that will last long in the memory. The
feedback we are receiving suggests it
is going to be one hell of a party.”
