We’re so excited to share that our Managing Director, Jonny Coekin, has been named in the Conference News 30underThirty Class of 2026 🎉

The CN 30underThirty initiative celebrates young event organisers who are already making a significant impact through their creativity, commitment and ambition. It aims to highlight the next generation of leaders set to shape the future of the industry, while providing them with a platform to grow their profiles and careers.

Jonny’s journey at Clownfish started almost a decade ago on his gap year, coiling cables and delivering events across London. Since then, he’s helped shape multiple parts of the business, led teams that consistently smash Clownfish records, and in September stepped into the MD role to lead the entire company.

It’s great to see Jonny’s journey and leadership at Clownfish Events recognised on a national stage., and we couldn’t be prouder to have him leading the next chapter of Clownfish Events 🙌

The Class of 2026 will be officially celebrated at a dedicated awards ceremony taking place during International Confex 2026, held at Excel London. You can read more about the award and see the full list here.
