The Festival of Media Triumphs at the Conference Awards
Organisers win 'Best CEO
Level Conference' Category
Festival of Media organisers C Squared are celebrating today after being
awarded 'Best CEO Level Conference' at the Conference Awards.
The awards ceremony saw C Squared beat the likes of Alphabet
Media, BBCG and UMB conferences to win the prize, awarded for their
work on the Festival of Media Global 2011.
The Conference Awards, attended by over 550 conference
professionals from over 160 companies, were created to recognise
and reward excellence within the conference and events industry.
Decided by a 20 strong judging panel representing senior marketers
with established conference and events expertise, the award
reflects the on-going success of the Festival of Media brand, which
holds bespoke annual events in Montreux, Miami and Singapore.
Next up is the Festival of Media LatAm, which is taking place
from 23rd-25th September at the
Fontainebleau, Miami Beach. Now in its 3rd year, the
event combines inspirational speakers, thought provoking content
and two days of invaluable networking opportunities.
Caroline Carr, Marketing Director at C Squared, comments: "We
are thrilled that the Festival of Media Global 2011 has been
recognised as the Best CEO Level conference - it is testament to
the level of audience we attract to the event and its positioning
within the industry. We are extremely proud to be recognised as the
winner against some other well established international
events."
Charlie Crowe, Chief Executive of C Squared and founder of the
Festival of Media, adds: "This reward reflects the team's
incredible achievement in building such a successful event over the
last 6 years. The Festival of Media Global 2012 line-up included
global CEOs from every major agency, alongside brand
representatives such as Salman Amin, executive vice president and
chief marketing officer at PepsiCo and Nigel Burton, chief
marketing officer at Colgate-Palmolive. The Festival attracts the
highest possible calibre of delegates and speakers and each year
really is bigger and better than the last."

About The Conference Awards
The Conference Awards are the only such event for the commercial
conference and events industry. Winning an award brings
unparalleled recognition for the teams and individuals behind these
outstanding achievements.
The idea for the Conference Awards was first conceived in 2009
by Claire Wormsley and Rory Ross Russell, ex-board members of
Incisive Media and Informa UK respectively. The success of the
Conference Awards would not have been possible without the support
of the distinguished panel of judges as well as the financial
support of the sponsors.
