The CN Agency Awards 2025
The CN Agency Awards 2025 took place on Friday, 21 March 2025 at the De Vere Grand Connaught Rooms in London's West End, with this year seeing us welcome attendees to the jungle.
On arrival, guests attended a networking drinks reception with live performances from Ultimate Event Dancers, before being invited through to the main hall. We opened the day's proceedings with our Agency Pioneer Award 2025, recognising Catherine Turner for her 15 years of outstanding contribution to the events industry, as founder and CEO of CTL Communications.
A three-course lunch was then followed by the awards itself, recognising excellence, innovation and outstanding achievements from the leading agencies and individuals. Guests were then treated to an after party to conclude the afternoon's proceedings.
Thank you to everyone who joined us for the CN Agency Awards 2025 - we can't wait to welcome you all again in 2026!
