The Event Production Awards (EPAs) 2024 shortlist has been announced, featuring many of the industry’s leading production agencies, promoters, suppliers and venues.

The EPAs will take place on 28 February at Indigo at The O2. The evening event will follow day one of the Event Production Show (EPS), which takes place less than five miles away at ExCeL London.

Organised by Access All Areas owner Mash Media and overseen by the team behind EPS and the Access All Areas Conference & Awards, the EPAs celebrates excellence in the delivery and production of live events.

This year’s awards will feature 20 categories, with several new additions including Best Concessions Provider, Best Major Event Operator, Best Aerial Spectacular and One to Watch.

Access All Areas content director Christopher Barrett said, “For more than a decade the Event Production Awards has celebrated excellence in the business of live event production; from honouring the unwavering achievement of industry veterans to recognising the innovative approach of newcomers.

“This year is poised to be the best EPAs yet, with superb live event venue Indigo at The O2 set to welcome leading talent from across the industry; including suppliers, agencies, venues, production teams and promoters. I’m looking forward to seeing you there.”
