The Recruitment Events Co. is thrilled to announce that RecFest UK has been awarded the prestigious ‘Best UK Trade Show 2000 – 4000sqm’ at the AEO (Association of Exhibition Organisers) Awards. This accolade recognises RecFest’s unique approach to trade shows, standing out among the best organisers in the UK for delivering the value of a B2B event with the emotional pull and connection of a consumer event.
Challenging the norm and daring to be different
RecFest UK was celebrated for breaking free from the traditional B2B event mold, offering an experience that combines the immersive appeal of a consumer event with the professional benefits of a trade show. The event delivers the festival-like atmosphere of Glastonbury with the emotional engagement of Comic-Con, providing attendees with key insights, learnings, and meaningful connections, while ensuring significant ROI for exhibitors.
“The judges said every event professional needs to go to this event – it’s a masterclass in experience designed to create something truly special – a well-deserved win!”

An event that creates meaningful connections
RecFest UK’s standout feature is its ability to blend professional value with a festival experience, driven by a deep understanding and connection to the TA community. From stages addressing industry challenges with keynotes and practical solutions, to a field full of the latest TA tech and solutions providers, RecFest delivers undeniable ROI in a unique environment.
“Winning this award is testament to the hard work and creativity of the team, and the desire of our industry for in-person events that have experience at the heart of them,” said Jamie Leonard, CEO of The Recruitment Events Co. “As a small, independent events company, being nominated among some of the biggest events companies in the world was an honour, but to actually win and be recognised as one of the best trade show in the UK, in any industry, is mind blowing and just motivates us more to keep pushing the boundaries and challenge the norm..”
