The finalists for the EN Awards have been announced by organiser Mash Media, which earlier reported a record number of entries for the 2018 event.
The awards will take place on 23 March at Battersea Evolution, and will bring together the very best of the exhibitions industry for an evening of networking and recognising the achievements of individuals, companies and shows in 2017.
“The quality of entries has been extremely high this year,” commented EN editor Nicola Macdonald. “Our panel of expert judges have some very tough decisions ahead of them and I can’t wait to see which of the shortlisted entries win on the day.”
