Outsourced Events named finalist for two categories at CN Agency Awards 2026
Outsourced Events has been named finalist for two categories at CN Agency Awards 2026. This double nomination celebrates both our commitment to creating an exceptional workplace culture and our excellence in delivering impactful internal communications events for our clients.
Employer of the Year
Our nomination for Employer of the Year reflects the investment we make in our people and the culture we've built over 25 years. This recognition comes on the heels of our exceptional rankings in the Best Companies 2025 lists, further validating our approach to creating a workplace where innovation thrives and professional development flourishes.
As we celebrate our 25th anniversary in 2026, this nomination is particularly meaningful. It acknowledges the environment we've created where team members can grow, celebrate milestones together and deliver exceptional events for our clients.
Internal Communications Event
Our finalist position in the Internal Communications Event category showcases our expertise in creating engaging experiences that connect and inspire teams. This nomination specifically recognises our work on Ocean Infinity's inaugural company conference. The Ocean Infinity project exemplified our approach to internal communications events - transforming a complex logistical challenge into an inspiring company milestone. Working with the marine technology company, we delivered their first-ever global conference, uniting team members from across continents to celebrate achievements, share strategic vision and strengthen company culture.
