The Event Technology Awards

What The Event Technology Awards does

The Event Technology Awards is an annual awards program operated by A.M.P. Events Ltd (registered in England, company number 08430479) that recognizes excellence and innovation across the event technology sector. The program runs a structured annual cycle — entries open in April, close in late July, shortlist in September, judging and public voting through October, and a winners ceremony in November co-located with Event Tech Live at Excel London. It serves event technology vendors, agencies, venues, and individual professionals across 30+ award categories spanning event management software, registration, AV, networking tools, sustainability, accessibility, and (as of 2026) AI applications.

The underlying technology is the Evessio web-based awards management platform, which powers online entry submission, account management, judging workflows, and the People's Choice voting mechanism. The firm maintains a 40+ member independent judging panel drawn from leading event technology organizations (Clarion, Forrester, EY, easyfairs, CloserStill, Olympia, GoTo Marketers, and others).

The business model combines three revenue streams: per-entry transaction fees (£195–£245 depending on category), per-ticket ceremony revenue (£99+VAT standard, £49 ETL exhibitor), and sponsorship (headline sponsor One World Rental, supporting sponsors Evessio, Evolution Dome, and Women in Event Tech). The GTM is event-driven, leveraging co-location with Event Tech Live, an email/newsletter channel, the public winners archive (2017–2025), and editorial partnerships including Event Industry News for People's Choice voting. The company employs 1–10 people, is independently owned with no disclosed institutional backing, and is led by directors Adam Parry and Paul Allott from its Retford, Nottinghamshire headquarters.

Direct peers

• The Event Awards (Mash Media): A long-running UK awards program for the events industry operated by Mash Media. Closely comparable to the Event Technology Awards in scope (events-industry awards), format (annual ceremony, independent judging, entry fees, and sponsorships), and geographic market (UK).
• M&IT Awards (Meetings & Incentive Travel): Annual awards for the meetings and incentives industry, run by M&IT magazine. Comparable in operating model (paid entries, judged categories, ceremony with sponsors and ticketed attendees) and in addressing UK-based meetings and event-tech buyers.
• Event Industry Awards (Event Industry News): UK events-industry awards program run by Event Industry News, which is also a media partner of the Event Technology Awards. Directly comparable in audience (event suppliers, agencies, venues), entry-fee and sponsorship model, and trade-press amplification.
• C&IT Awards (Conference & Incentive Travel): Awards program run by Conference & Incentive Travel magazine recognising agencies, venues, and suppliers in the conference and incentive travel market. Comparable in entry-fee + sponsorship monetisation and in serving the same UK-based event-buyer audience.
• AEO Awards (Association of Event Organisers): Industry-association-led awards for event organisers and suppliers in the UK. Comparable as a recognition event with a paid-entry model, independent judging, and a ceremony co-located with association activity, targeting many of the same event-tech and supplier buyers.
• UK Event Awards: Annual UK-based awards program recognising excellence across the events industry. Directly comparable in business model (paid entries, ticket-based ceremony, headline sponsors), customer base (event agencies, suppliers, and venues), and judging-led format.

Others

• Event Tech Live: The trade show at Excel London with which the Event Technology Awards is co-located. Not a direct competitor but a core strategic partner and audience source for the awards, making it a key comparable for understanding the size and economics of the underlying event-tech market.
• Event Tech World: UK-based media and community platform covering event technology, including editorial content and industry events. Comparable only as an adjacent ecosystem participant that addresses the same vendor and event-professional audience the awards target.

Emerging players

• The Drum Awards for the Digital Industries: Multi-category awards program covering digital marketing, technology, and creative work. Comparable as a paid-entry, sponsorship-funded, judging-led awards franchise in an adjacent (digital/tech) space, and useful as a benchmark for premium positioning in a non-events vertical.

Regional players

• Event Marketer Awards: US-based awards program run by Event Marketer magazine recognising excellence in event marketing and activation. Comparable in judging-led awards format and event-tech-adjacent categories, but operating primarily in North America rather than the UK/EMEA market the Event Technology Awards serves.
