The Event School London Awards for Excellence 2024


On the unique leap day of 29 February, The Event School London hosted its Awards for Excellence 2024. This intimate gathering was not just an event, but a celebration of the unwavering dedication and outstanding achievements within the school community. In a setting that encouraged warmth and personal accolades, the ceremony was a testament to the school’s ethos of recognising and uplifting individual accomplishments.


The ceremony was designed to honor a spectrum of achievements, from academic brilliance and graduate success to teaching excellence, entrepreneurship and active industry involvement. Each award served as a milestone, marking the exceptional efforts of students, alumni, and faculty members whose work has not only elevated the standards of The Event School London but also made a significant impact in the field of event management and on their student's lives.


Introducing the Awards, Maria O'Dea, School Director shared the highlights of the School's history including being offered a contract with "The 5 Host Boroughs" training and preparing people to work at London 2012 and winning RSVP Luxury Events Award for Innovation.


"Since our inception in 2005, the real highlights are the achievements and successes of our teaching team, students and graduates, which is why we come together this evening to celebrate with with these awards for excellence."
