The 2025 ABPCO Excellence Awards

ABPCO 2025 EXCELLENCE AWARDS

Tickets Now on Sale and Open for Entries

With last year’s event breaking all attendance records, an increase of 20% year on year, the 2025 Excellence Awards is facing a high bar, but in December 2025 we’re heading to the iconic Manchester Central and a city that we know will deliver a diverse, dynamic, creative and exciting experience for our all those who attend.

The ABPCO Executive chose Manchester Central for its prestigious flagship event, because it is extremely aspirational and very popular in our industry. Manchester Central demonstrated  positive collaboration, and clearly understood our aims, our audience, and communicated effectively throughout the pitch process.

Heather Lishman, Association Director said “We really appreciated how they’d incorporated a number of local stakeholders within their proposal, and we’re looking forward to their input with the ground programme and planning an event that will be bigger, brighter and more impressive than ever.”  

"We are absolutely thrilled to be welcoming ABPCO to Manchester Central for their Annual Excellence Awards this December. The ABPCO community is one we deeply value, and it’s a real privilege to host an event that celebrates such outstanding professionalism and collaboration within our industry. We can’t wait to showcase everything Manchester has to offer – from our vibrant city culture to our world-class facilities – while providing the perfect setting for meaningful networking and connections.”  Lori Hoinkes, CEO at Manchester Central
