ABOUT THE WHAT VAN? AWARDS
The What Van? Awards are recognised as the most prestigious independent accolades in the UK’s light commercial vehicle industry. The intention is for the event to return to December following the success of last year’s virtual ceremony. The awards provides attendees with the opportunity to network and celebrate the success of their peers across carefully selected categories. The What Van? Awards provide recognition for brands, businesses and organisations that have reached the pinnacle of their fields. What Van? assembles an experienced panel of independent judges from across the LCV sector to evaluate the entrants. The categories evolve from year to year to ensure we recognise changing trends and developments spanning the breadth of the light commercial vehicle industry. Hybrid 2020 and 2021 have been unprecedented years for the events industry, which has affected every aspect of how we engage with our target audiences. Handshakes and business card exchanges have been replaced with virtual networking lounges and instant messaging. At Progressive Media International, we have led the market in successfully transforming our event calendar into online activities, with impressive engagement numbers which out have outshone our competitors in not only retaining but actually growing our audiences. Now, as we plan to emerge from a fully virtual world and re-enter physical event activations, we face a challenge on providing a safe environment for us to meet again and our intention to host this event in a hybrid (both physical and virtual synchronised) format. So, what does this mean for this event? Our team of marketers and specialist event producers have consulted the market, are working closely with venues and conducting all the risk-assessments required to be able to bring us all together in one room again. What to expect • A London-based event • Constant risk-assessment on the status of the pandemic and its effects on events • Final decision to be made on the scope of the physical elements 8 weeks prior to the event date • Maximum capacity allowed in physical format to be complied with, in the venue space • Physical attendee number capability will be shared with partners 8 weeks prior to the event • Local delegates invited to the physical event to engage with our partners onsite • Live streaming of the physical elements to an additional global virtual audience • All delegates in-person will be required to comply with government event guidelines • Professional event moderators will connect our physical and virtual audiences effectively
LEAF & Blueprint Awards
14th October 2021
Upon consultation with all of our esteemed judges last year, we made the difficult decision to postpone the 2020 ABB LEAF Awards ceremony. This was to ensure the safety of all of our community. We are delighted to announce that we have therefore extended the current entries submission deadline to May 2021, which will also allow for projects from 2020. Winners will be announced during a live ceremony in October 2021, location and venue TBC.
The LEAF Awards has been running for over 18 years and all shortlisted entries and winning projects are known for their contribution to the international architectural design industry. We celebrate each new building project created over the last eighteen months, rewarding and recognising them for their original design concept in its appropriate category.

The New Statesman’s 4th annual Cyber Security in Financial Services conference is back to take place on the 23 - 24 November 2021.
Whilst we eagerly await a return to live events and networking, the health and wellbeing of all involved must remain our priority, so considering the ongoing developments and concerns around the pandemic, the conference will return in 2021 as a hybrid event.
The pressure is on the financial sector supporting business in the ‘return to normal’ or the ‘new normal’ as well as handling this transition themselves. Banks must remain competitive amid digital transformation and the recent explosion in cyber-crime, not only whilst upholding the strongest information security systems but also while adapting to the impact of the pandemic and Brexit. Additionally, the complications of tight data regulations continue to evolve, as well as the sector opening to challengers. The New Statesman Cyber Security in Financial Services programme will address these challenges, opportunities and more that the sector faces whilst maintaining its cyber resilience.
The conference presents the opportunity to showcase your organisation and engage with influential decision-makers. Attendees can share ideas, innovations, initiatives and take part in virtual chats and private 1-2-1 conversations. There will also be the opportunity to engage with presentations on the main stage, and in Q&As with the speakers and sponsors.
Thought leaders and senior figures will present throughout the day to examine current regulations, key trends, and developments.
