Who won the coveted Unicorn Awards?

Who are the experts evaluating the events?

Unicorns are rare, just like extraordinary events

Awarding the finest in the event business. A place where the best events in Europe come to compete. The unicorns of the events industry. The Unicorn Awards honour the exceptional minds behind events that captivated our hearts, minds, and imaginations. 

What distinguishes unicorn events from ordinary events is their trailblazing idea: they transcend the typical event framework in which people meet. Unicorn events foster new ideas, create modern “agoras”, and have the vision that can move mountains. Most importantly, they are a place where communities are born.
