Data analysis and ROI reporting. AI tool literacy. Sustainability reporting. Business case writing.

The events role has changed fast, and this year's survey asks what skills you now need that you didn't three years ago, and whether your organisation is actually investing in the training to help you keep up.

Entries for the 2027 ICEN Awards open September 1 🏆

These awards exist to put in-house event teams centre stage, which happens less often in this industry than it should. And they are not decided by budget.

The entries that win explain what changed. Not what was delivered, not how many people came, not the feedback score. What the organisation could do afterwards that it could not do before.

If you have spent this year on something you are quietly proud of, that is your entry.

Tag a team whose work deserves one. Plenty never put themselves forward 👇

Their CEO tweeted about it. Five weeks later, the event happened. 🏆

"No mean feat" is doing a lot of work in that sentence.

Congratulations to the team at Input Output Group 👏
