An unforgettable night at The Londoner
Over 350 industry professionals gathered at The Londoner. Guests enjoyed an evening shaped around our theme of a reimagined speakeasy – a not-so-secret soiree open to all, where there are no codes, no barriers—just open conversation, well-earned recognition, and a night to celebrate the very best in our industry.
This year, we received a record number of entries, showcasing the incredible talent and creativity within our industry. Our expert judges had the challenging task of selecting the best from this impressive array of submissions.
Agencies like Broadsword, Brighter and Yellow Fish celebrated significant wins. It was also a standout night for Monaco, with Visit Monaco Convention Bureau winning Best Convention or Tourism Bureau while one of its partners Ikebana (based in Monaco and France) picking up the award for Best DMC. For a complete list of winners, please refer to our official winners’ book.
Other notable winners included Vine Tree Connections won the Best Representation Company award, while PortAventura Business & Events was awarded Best International Event Venue, Tottenham Hotspur Stadium took home the Best UK Event Venue award and Exclusive Collection was named Best Hotel Brand.
Pure Communications Group won Best Charity or CSR Event for Space Charity Ball, and Destination Asia Events was awarded Best Sustainable Event. And last but by no means least, Emota picked up the Best Awards or Celebratory Event award, and Blueprint Partners took home the Best Product Launch gong for Lotus Emeya Grand Tour.
The evening was hosted by the dynamic duo of Kiki Deville, one of Europe’s most high profile Burlesque Chanteuse and Hostess and Jamie Body an entertainment journalist, presenter and content creator. Entertainment was provided by our fabulous live house band, Vocals, Beyond Repair – Entertainment, and DJ Ines, who kept the celebration lively well into the night.
Our theme this year transforms into a reimagined speakeasy, flipped on its head—replacing secrecy with openness, warmth, and an invitation for all. The event began with a story from our charity partner, Meeting Needs, which raised over £10,590 through the generosity of our attendees.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to our partners Beyond Repair, All Safe and Sound, So Blooming Beautiful and Cvent. We also thank all our sponsors, including our headline sponsor, IHG Hotels & Resorts.
It has been another incredibly hard year for the sector and in many ways harder than the year before. The winners of the V Awards22 have demonstrated great creativity, resilience and leadership to navigate current and new challenges to once again come out stronger. We were honoured to have such a high calibre of judges giving credibility to the process and huge congratulations to all the winners and those that were highly commended as they would have deserved the accolades. The business events sector can be a force for good and this was demonstrated on the night.
