AsiaWorld Expo walked away with a trophy at The EN Awards, which took place 30 March.
Event profs from around the UK and the world donned their party frocks and tuxes for a night dedicated to the best the exhibition industry has to offer.
ExCeL London kindly hosted the awards for 2017, and ably accommodated the more than 1,100 guests who descended on the venue for EN’s biggest ever awards do.
Before event profs settled down for the three course dinner, the EN Pioneer Award, chosen by the editor of EN, was awarded to industry legend Brian Wiseman for his outstanding contribution to exhibitions over his long and varied career.
Comedian Joel Dommett kicked off the awards after dinner, giving out 22 gongs to winners across three categories. From Best Newcomer to Best Venue Over 8,000sqm and Best Trade Show, the awards covered the length and breadth of the industry.
