CN 30underThirty winners celebrate at awards ceremony

The 2021 class was recognised and celebrated at ODEON Luxe, West End, on 20 January.

Upon arrival the CN30 winners were treated to a networking reception before the main event: the awards ceremony, where they heard from CN editor, Martin Fullard and Felicia Asiedu, marketing manager at Cvent.

Following the awards ceremony, the CN30 winners had the opportunity to take part in a Lego team building activity run by Identity.

Addressing the 2021 cohort, Asiedu, said: “Tell people who you are, shout about what you can do for them. That’s how you’ll make a change in this industry. One of the benefits of CN 30underThirty is the ability to network and make connections. This helps you keep driving forwards.”

A special thank you to our headline sponsor Cvent, as well as our sponsors Identity, Hubilo, Laser Crystal and Aniseed Photo.

Congratulations again to all of our winners. 

Conference News looks forward to working with you over the next 12-months to deliver content, interviews and events.
