Welcome to the Event Industry Awards

The Event Industry Awards 2011 took place before a packed audience of the cream of Irelands Event Industry, with the hilarious Dermot Whelan of the Republic of Telly presiding over a glittering awards ceremony.

The awards venue was packed with nearly 400 representatives from all over Ireland present to applaud the 116 finalists across 23 categories as the prestigious trophies were handed out to loud cheers from winners and their guests. Beaten finalists were rewarded with a special parchment to mark their success in reaching the finals.

The awards attracted over 150 entries, with judges commenting on the overall high standards which made choosing the eventual winners all the more difficult. On behalf of our sponsors, congratulations to all our winners and commiserations to those who were not successful this time around.

The night was rounded off by a fantastic performance by the Brat Pack, followed by DJ Phil Udell who kept everyone dancing into the wee hours.

The list of winners are now available below, and pictures of the night are also on our Facebook page.

See you all next year!
