Clownfish Events shortlisted for three CN Agency Awards 2026
Right. We’re going to allow ourselves a little grin here.
Clownfish Events has been shortlisted for three awards at the CN Agency Awards 2026, hosted by Conference News. That’s three separate nods for three very different parts of what we do, and honestly, it feels pretty special.
The shortlisted categories are:
Employer of the Year
Technical Production Team of the Year
Rising Star Award – Ellie Perrett
If you’re keeping score, that’s culture, technical excellence and future talent all getting a seat at the table.
A big deal for the UK events industry
Now in its eighth year, the CN Agency Awards recognise excellence across the full-service event agency community, celebrating the innovation, creativity and delivery that define the UK events industry and its international reach.
The 2026 awards will take place on Friday 20 March 2026 at The Brewery, bringing together agencies, suppliers and industry leaders for an afternoon of celebration and recognition.
Conference News described this year’s shortlist as a reflection of the depth of talent and quality across the sector, highlighting agencies that are setting the standard for excellence over the past year. We’re very proud to be counted among them.
What the shortlisting means to us
Being recognised across people, culture and technical delivery feels particularly special.
- Employer of the Year reflects the culture we’ve worked hard to build. One where people feel supported, trusted and genuinely enjoy turning up to work.
- Technical Production Team of the Year is a nod to the calm, considered, seriously capable crew who make complex events feel effortless for clients.
- Rising Star for Ellie celebrates the next generation of talent and the impact one brilliant person can have when given the space to grow.
Great events don’t happen by accident. They happen because good people are given the space, tools and trust to do great work. These shortlists feel like a nod to exactly that.
What happens next
Winners will be announced in March, and yes, we’ll be crossing fingers, fins and anything else that helps. But whatever the outcome, being shortlisted alongside so many brilliant agencies already feels like a win.
