UFI, the Global Association of the Exhibition Industry, has extended the deadline for entries for the 2020 UFI Award Programme and Next Generation Leadership (NGL) Grant to 4 April 2020.
This has been done in light of the disruption that COVID-19 has caused to the international exhibition industry, and in a bid to ensure these programmes are still utilized at a time when they are possibly most needed.
UFI explains; “The UFI Award programme is conceived to showcase and reward initiative, enable companies to demonstrate their prowess to customers, business partners and co-workers while increasing brand awareness among industry peers and driving new sales leads.”
There are five categories and topics for this year’s awards, which are:
- Human Resources: “Corporate Culture as a Competitive Advantage”
- Digital Innovation: “What is Digital Innovation for you?”
- Industry Partner: “Business Innovation”
- Marketing: “Multi-channel, Cross-generational marketing”
- Operations & Services: “Best industry cooperation to enhance customer experience”
