EVA Alliance is delighted to announce the renewal of its strategic partnership with the Unicorn Awards for 2026, reinforcing a shared commitment to celebrating excellence, creativity and innovation across the European events industry.
Formerly known as the Conventa Best Event Award, the competition has evolved into the Unicorn Awards, an event dedicated to recognising Europe’s most exceptional live marketing projects. Taking place on 7–8 September 2026 in Ljubljana, Slovenia, the Unicorn Awards will bring together leading event professionals to evaluate and celebrate the campaigns and experiences that have made a lasting impact on audiences and the industry.
As part of the renewed partnership, EVA Alliance will once again be represented on the international jury, with Angeles Moreno, Founder of EVA Alliance, returning as President of the Jury.
For EVA Alliance, the partnership is another important step in advancing its mission of giving experienced women leaders a stronger voice within the global events industry. By participating in the judging process, members contribute their knowledge, strategic thinking and professional expertise while supporting greater visibility and representation of women in leadership roles.
For the Unicorn Awards, the partnership strengthens an independent and internationally respected judging process by bringing together professionals with extensive experience in designing, commissioning and evaluating impactful events from the client perspective.
“The evolution into the Unicorn Awards marks an exciting new chapter for an already highly respected competition,” said Angeles Moreno, Co-founder of EVA Alliance. “We are proud to continue this partnership and to once again contribute the expertise of our community to recognising the projects that are redefining excellence in live marketing. Judging is not only about selecting winners, it is about celebrating creativity, encouraging innovation and helping raise standards across our industry.”
The Unicorn Awards honour the exceptional minds behind events that capture hearts, challenge thinking and create meaningful impact. Bringing together the most remarkable projects from across Europe, the competition celebrates the creativity, strategic vision and flawless execution that define truly outstanding live experiences.
The renewed partnership builds on the successful collaboration established in 2025 and reflects the shared belief of both organisations that recognising excellence, encouraging innovation and fostering collaboration are essential to the continued growth of the meetings and events industry.
