The C&IT Awards return for 2026 - championing the most innovative, creative and high-performing professionals across the events industry. In a landscape that never stands still, excellence matters more than ever. The C&IT Awards recognise the agencies, in-house teams, venues, destinations and suppliers who are not only delivering exceptional events - but redefining what exceptional looks like. For 2026, our categories have been carefully refined to reflect the evolving priorities of the industry. What hasn’t changed is our commitment to integrity. Every entry is rigorously assessed by an independent panel of expert judges with real-world experience of the work itself. Winning a C&IT Award is more than a trophy - it’s a benchmark of credibility in a competitive and fast-moving sector.
