The CN 30underThirty Class of 2021 sponsored by Cvent has been revealed.
This year’s class will be celebrated and recognised at an exclusive event on 20 January at ODEON Luxe, West End.
The CN 30underThirty initiative recognises the industry’s exceptional young talent; showcasing their achievements and rewarding their passion, creativity and brilliance that makes them the leaders of tomorrow within the conference and meetings industry. The scheme exists to give younger people in the industry the confidence they need to move forwards in their careers.
Every year since its launch in 2017, Conference News unveils a list of 30 event professionals under the age of 30 who we believe will path the way to success and push the industry forward.
Despite the difficulty of the past two years, which have put a strain on the events industry, the selected 30 have shown remarkable creativity, versatility and determination to deliver high-quality events and experiences.
Congratulations to the class of 2021! More information about the class will be released in the coming weeks.
