The ESSA Awards shine a light on the incredible work of so many in our sector since 2017 and this year will be bigger and better than ever before, with a whopping 14 categories – including seven new categories for 2023 – the most to date. This is in recognition of the industry’s broad spectrum of excellence across multiple disciplines, the sum of each making the events industry the success it is today.
