Outsourced Events wins Best Event Agency at the 2026 Conference & Events Awards
Outsourced Events have been named Best Event Agency at the 2026 Conference & Events Awards and we couldn't think of a more fitting way to mark our 25th anniversary.
The Conference & Events Awards are one of the UK events industry's most respected recognition programmes, celebrating excellence, innovation and outstanding achievement across the conference and events sector. To win Best Event Agency in our 25th year is a moment we will not forget.
Reflecting on the win, CEO and Co-Founder Denise Sharpe said: "So incredibly proud to have been awarded Best Event Agency at the Conference and Events Awards. And what more fitting tribute when our company turns 25. This belongs to our wonderful team, our amazing clients and to every person who has been part of the OE story."
A team effort and a team award
Awards like this are never won by one person and this one is no different. It belongs to every single member of the OE team, who show up for our clients and for each other with dedication, creativity and care.
It also belongs to our clients. Without the trust you place in us, to deliver your most important events, to represent your brand on the biggest stages and to care about your outcomes as much as you do none of this would be possible. Thank you.
Twenty-five years in the making
The timing of this award couldn't be more meaningful. Outsourced Events was founded in 2001 by Denise Sharpe and Alexandra Sibley and this week we celebrate 25 years of events, partnerships and moments that matter. From our early days to now delivering over 240 events a year for global technology brands, associations and not-for-profits, this award feels like a celebration of everything we have built together.
To our team, our clients and our partners, past and present, thank you. We are proud to be recognised and even more proud of the work that got us here. Thank you to the Conference & Events team and GCN Events for the recognition as well as all the other nominees for this category.

Why exhibitors have 3.5 seconds to earn a second look
Most brands treat signage as a finishing touch, something to sort out once the stand design, the demos and the giveaways are locked in. The evidence suggests that's the wrong way round. Signage is doing most of the work in the first 3.5 seconds. It's the first thing read from a distance, before a single conversation happens, which makes it one of the highest-leverage decisions in the entire stand design, not an afterthought. Find out more.
