Entries for Best Small Event are judged on all aspects of event management including best practice, innovation, marketing, stakeholder engagement and management, sustainability and event legacy.
Clare Dawson is one of Forum Group’s most experienced event professionals who brings professionalism to every end-to-end integrated event campaign she manages. Taking an agile approach to managing events, she tackles projects holistically from the initial concept to completion. Clare is an integral member of our Forum Group team and highly sought after by their clients.

Forum Group’s Director Lauren Hayward said, ‘This announcement is welcome acknowledgement of the hard work, creativity and professionalism of the Forum Group team. We’re thrilled that our delivery of Buzzfeed’s end of year customer appreciation prom has been selected by industry experts as a finalist.
