About the Awards

The Event Impact Awards (EIA), initiated in 2024 by BusinessRiver, renowned for fostering excellence across diverse sectors in Ireland, represents a reinvigorated emphasis on corporate event creation and execution. Formerly known as the Event Industry Awards (EIA), our new brand signals a renewed focus on corporate event creation and execution, reflecting our dedication to excellence and innovation.

Divided into Corporate Events and Industry Events categories, the EIA cultivates fair competition, allowing corporate in-house event teams, professionals, and organisations to showcase their capabilities and measure against industry standards.Supported by a panel of experts from diverse backgrounds, including industry, academia, and stakeholders, the judging process ensures impartiality and credibility.

Participation in the EIA is open and free, offering a unique opportunity for industry players to gain recognition, expand their networks, and attract top talent and clients. The event, with The Irish Times online as its communications partner, promises extensive national coverage, elevating the profiles of both shortlisted entrants and eventual winners. Furthermore, the EIA serves as a platform for celebration and collaboration within the vibrant event industry community, fostering innovation and excellence.

For those eager to submit their work for consideration, assistance is readily available from the Entry Team Leaders. The EIA celebrates the achievements of Ireland's event industry and inspires future innovation and growth.
