CNAA 2023


 

About the event

The CN Agency Awards 2023 took place on 3 March 2023 at the impressive QEII Centre in Westminster, London. With this year's theme being 70s Disco, attendees arrived at the venue ready to boogie and dance the evening away.

On arrival, guests attended a networking drinks reception at Pickwick before  being invited into the Churchill Suite for the day's proceedings. Our editor Cameron Roberts opened the ceremony by welcoming all attendees and presenting the Agency Pioneer Award to this year's deserving winner - Michael Gietzen, chief executive officer at Identity.

Attendees were then treated to a three-course meal before the CNAAs commenced to celebrate the absolute best agencies and individuals from the events industry, finishing with CTL Communications being awarded the illustrious Grand Prix Award (Agency of the Year) for excellence across multiple categories. The celebrations then continued with a return to Pickwick for a groovy afterparty into the evening.
