Coventry-based Events Team Scores Global Acclaim

CloserStill Media, premier exhibition and conference organisers, has once again achieved global recognition, enhancing its already impressive trophy cabinet in Coventry.

CloserStill Media runs more than 100 market-leading events and gatherings focused on the Business Technologies, Healthcare, and Future Transport and Infrastructure sectors.

CloserStill Media's Clinical Pharmacy Congress team is based in Coventry and in 2023, the team boldly launched Clinical Pharmacy Congress North – a replication of its renowned London event. Their tireless efforts were recently celebrated with a coveted win at the Association of Events Organisers (AEO) Excellence Awards, taking home the trophy for Best UK Trade Show Launch 2024.

For those unfamiliar with the AEOs, they are a highly respected distinction in the exhibitions industry. Winning the award just once is considered a career highlight for many, however the Clinical Pharmacy Congress team has two previous AEO Awards for Best Trade Show in 2018 and 2019.

Earlier this year, CloserStill Media’s Best Practice team, also based in Coventry, walked away from the annual Exhibition News Awards with Best Brand Expansion. Best Practice, a trade show for general practice medical professionals at the NEC, launched its London edition in 2023. Several individuals from the CloserStill Coventry office have also been awarded individual awards spanning across their sales, marketing, operations and finance departments.

Laura Shapiro, Portfolio Director, said: “This is a major accomplishment, and we're incredibly proud of the entire Coventry team behind the scenes for their commitment to excellence and for continually pushing the boundaries of what a trade show looks like. Their dedication and hard work truly paid off, and we're thrilled to share this achievement with them.”
