For the second year running the FIT Show Awards rewarded ‘the best of the best’ exhibitors at this year’s event in Birmingham, announcing the winners at Wednesday evening’s gala dinner.
Six awards were judged independently, by a team of ‘exhibition experts’, including NEC B2B marketing manager, Gemma Piggott, as well as NEC account manager, Liz Cawley. Other judges included Nicola Macdonald, Exhibition News reporter; Alison Jackson, exhibition consultant and returning for a second year, Jenni Jaques, marketing director for the Association of Event Organisers (AEO) and FaceTime.
With some exceptional stands to choose from, judging this year wasn’t an easy task according to Jenni: “As soon as I walked in, I was blown away,” she said. “It was bigger and better than last year and I could tell everybody had made a fantastic effort to make it into a vibrant and dynamic industry event for visitors. This made judging the awards a challenging task and one that we took extremely seriously.”
