Mash Media provided incredible support and showed true dedication to the events industry during an exceptionally challenging time. A very timely and clever launch, developing a range of products to support those moving to virtual events during the pandemic.” Duncan Siegle, portfolio director at Mash Media, said: “Our remit as a company has always been to support the entirety of the events industry so when planners were forced online by the global pandemic, it was an easy decision to step-up and provide a new portfolio of media products that could help them to up-skill and discover the growing array of digital technology suppliers entering this space. “The Digital Event News website, quarterly print publication, awards programme and our latest addition – the DEN Tech Summit, continue to go from strength to strength and this award is testament to all the hard work from a talented and fantastic team.”
