FAQs

The International Corporate Events Network Awards is a global awards programme dedicated exclusively to recognising outstanding in-house corporate event teams, with ceremonies taking place in Germany on 1 July 2027, the UK on 8 July 2027 and the USA on 15 July 2027.

Corporate event planners or marketing teams who spend at least 70% of their day-to-day job role delivering, marketing and fulfilling a company’s events. No matter the size of your team, whether it is a large or a small organisation, you have an equal chance of winning.

We accept entries from any corporate event planner. However, if you are an Agency or a Supplier you must enter on behalf of your client. If the entry is for the Agency or Supplier themselves this will be excluded. Entries made on behalf of a client must have the client attending on the night with the Agency or Supplier that entered them.

3 categories per event!

If you believe your event is suitable for multiple categories, you are most welcome to enter your event into more than one category. However, please do remember it’s important for you to tailor your answers to address the category you are entering for the best chance of winning.

Award categories vary by destination and cover live, hybrid and virtual events. Full details for each category, including criteria, what the judges are looking for and the entry questions, can be downloaded here for the UK and here for the US.

Financial figures are NOT required. The event may have a budget of £50k or £1 million and the award is judged on whether it has met its objective. So ‘Glam’ is not essential. Read our A – Z Guide for useful tips on presenting financials and other useful information.

There is no cost to enter. Submitting your events to the International Corporate Events Network Awards is completely free of charge.

Following the deadline, the judges are sent login details where they can view your submitted entries including any supporting documents which have been supplied. The judges are asked to score each question on a scale of 1 – 5 (1 being poor 5 being excellent).

After the individual scoring, the judges meet via telephone call to discuss the entries which is when we let them know which entry scored the most. The judges discuss the entries that are in the top 3 and 1st, 2nd and 3rd places are then agreed. The judges are looking to see if the event objectives were met and how you have answered the questions clearly to demonstrate the event’s fulfillment of the criteria.

This final decision is not announced until the night.

Our leading panel of judges are industry professionals who have in-depth experience in running events.

Attendance on the night is by confirmation of places and will not be open to individuals who have not confirmed their place. FOUR complimentary places are given per organisation ONLY, entered regardless of the number of the organisation’s events entered into the awards. These places are hosted by our Sponsors and Partners.

If you do require any additional places, these can be purchased at a cost of £200 + VAT per individual to a maximum of 10 places. You can purchase additional seats here.
