Awards. ATEI and its co-located sister shows join four other UK-based events on the AEO judging panel’s final five. John Fenna, Clarion ATE’s Head of Marketing, believes that the London Show is up against some fierce competition: “The AEO Excellence awards are the ‘Oscars’ of the exhibition industry. Submissions from hundreds of events have been whittled down to a shortlist of just five, comprising World Travel Market, The Furniture Show, Brand Licensing, which is aimed at international property owners and agents, IPEX, the print publishing and media exhibition held every four years at the NEC, and ourselves.” Fenna continued: “From an exhibition professional’s perspective, the London Shows are of note for many different reasons, not least because of the personality of the industries they serve, their ability to consistently attract buyers from over 100 nations, the role they play in generating significant volumes of business and their ability to deliver and remain relevant to organisations of all sizes and structures. To have reached this stage of the Awards is a great achievement and reflects the unstinting support and commitment of our customers – visitors as well as exhibitors.”
