The COOL Event Awards is the UK event industry’s biggest awards night. 

An open-entry contest since 2007 under its previous guise, the COOL Venue Awards.

An open-entry contest void of the usual fees to submit an application to be considered for nominations, which in turn opens the field for everyone to participate and results in a true understanding of who are the COOLest events and venues in the UK. 

Nominees featured in our most recent awards benefited from global exposure unrivalled by any events’ industry celebration held in the UK. With some very prestigious winners, global names present and a fitting extravganza to match, the previously known COOL Venue Awards spotlighted those that truly pushed the boundaries.

On the most recent night alone, the awards were the subject of 1284 tweets, many from highly influential industry shapers and big brands.

Under its previous name, the COOL Venue Awards hashtag trended on Twitter on the night and generated more traffic than any other event industry award evening.
