The EN Indy Expo and Awards will return on 17 October 2025 for the sixth annual edition!
The Expo is dedicated to exploring the key challenges facing independent organisers through a series of panel debates. This year's edition will take place at the Business Design Centre
Then in the evening, the Indy Awards are dedicated to recognising the achievements of independent show organisers, teams, individuals and suppliers.
Am I an Indy Organiser?
In an industry often dominated by large global companies, independent organisers are those not backed by private equity or part of a wider mix of businesses.
The indy organisers stand alone, are not part of a group of companies and are not backed by public or private investment.
The EN Indy Awards gives these smaller companies the chance to compete on equal terms and to highlight their outstanding events, along with the talented individuals who bring them to life.
