19 May 2026: World-renowned conference and events venue The QEII Centre has scooped three awards in the Eventex Awards 2026.

The venue, which reported exceptional growth in sales for the last financial year, won Gold in the Venue Event Team category, silver for Large Venue, and bronze in the City Venue category.

Celebrating the ‘event industry’s finest of 2026’, The Eventex Awards champions creativity, innovation, and effectiveness in the world of events and experiential marketing.

The judges recognised the quality of the service provided by the QEII teams, alongside its premium hospitality offering, including Michelin-inspired dinner menus created in collaboration with Green Michelin-starred chef Will Devlin. They also highlighted innovative services such as QEII Stays, a tailored accommodation booking service delivered in partnership with BCD Meetings and Events.

Saf Ismail, Chief Executive, The QEII Centre, said: “To be recognised across all three categories we entered is a tremendous achievement and a testament to the hard work and dedication of every member of our team. From the colleagues on the floor to those working behind the scenes and across the wider business, everyone plays a vital role in delivering outstanding experiences for our clients and audiences.

“Over the past year, we’ve launched a number of innovative initiatives, from Dare to be Bold, which encourages event planners to think more creatively when designing their events, to QEII Stays and Michelin Dinner menus. We are constantly striving to push boundaries and raise standards, and we’re thrilled that this commitment has been recognised at the Awards.”
