We’re proud to share that Sitka has been shortlisted across five categories at the 2025 International Confex Event Supplier Awards. For us, it’s a recognition of the trust our clients place in us and the impact we’re making in the events industry.
These nominations highlight the breadth of what Sitka delivers today – from customer experience to technology innovation.
Here’s a quick look at the categories we’ve been nominated for.
1. Customer Experience Award
Recognising individuals or businesses that put their clients first.
For us, customer experience isn’t something you bolt on. It’s baked into how we build, support, and evolve our platform. We build long-term partnerships with organisers, where support is proactive, flexible, and fast.
Whether it’s supporting thousands of visitors at a co-located show, adapting to last-minute floorplan changes, or working alongside a marketing team to boost adoption, we’re proud to be growing relationships where our customers see us as more than a supplier.
The team made it easy for us to achieve what we need. All our problems have been solved - and that’s been really refreshing. Our marketing team have really sung your praises, and they’ve worked with a lot of other partners.
2. Best Visitor Engagement Tool
Celebrates solutions that drive interactivity, content engagement or connection.
Sitka’s Digital Event Companion puts everything in the palm of the visitor’s hand, turning complexity into clarity:
- Interactive maps and real-time wayfinding with precise blue-dot navigation
- Personalised schedules and live updates
- Exhibitor, product and offer listings
- QR code ticketing
- Offline access
It removes the friction of paper maps, missed sessions, or getting lost in the venue – giving visitors a smoother, more personalised experience.
It helps to manage time and to take advantage of all the events and activities.
Organisers benefit from higher exhibitor and visitor satisfaction, improved event flow, and deeper behavioural insights.
3. Best Event Marketing Tool
For tools or software that enable innovative and effective event marketing outcomes.
Our platform isn’t a digital brochure. It’s a real-time marketing channel. Exhibitors and sponsors gain visibility through enhanced listings, sponsor banners, and promotional placements – all backed by engagement data that organisers can use to secure repeat sales.
It’s been really useful for us, [especially] being the headline sponsor and having that visibility across the whole show.
With our platform, organisers have seen exhibitors gain significantly more exposure through enhanced listings – up to 541% more views and 286% more clicks – clear, data-backed value they can take straight into sales conversations.
4. Best Event Sales Tool
Recognises platforms or products that power smarter ticket and sponsorship sales.
Organisers today aren’t just looking for tech – they need platforms that pay for themselves. Sitka enables organisers to create new digital inventory – from sponsored placements to lead capture – giving exhibitors measurable exposure and organisers clear revenue streams.
With detailed usage data and behavioural insights, commercial teams can show ROI, not just promise it – and use real evidence to drive renewals and upsells.
5. Tech Innovation of the Year
Awarded to a breakthrough technology or product introduced within the past 18 months.
At the heart of everything we do is Attendee Intelligence® – our AI-powered behavioural analytics platform. It shows how people actually move, explore and engage on-site, not just what they click.
Sitka brings clarity where there was once only guesswork, giving organisers the insights they need to optimise layouts, shape content, and prove ROI.
No surveys. No spreadsheets. Just the clarity to make better decisions, faster.
Intelligent events, recognised
These nominations highlight what the industry now expects:
- More meaningful data
- More flexible tools
- More responsive service
- More proof that platforms work
And we’re proud to be building the tech – and the relationships – to meet that demand head-on.
Whether it’s better layouts, smarter sponsorships, or smoother attendee experiences, we’re here to help teams make their events work harder – for visitors, exhibitors, and the planet.
We’re looking forward to the International Confex Event Supplier Awards ceremony in September, where the winners will be announced.
To every organiser who’s trusted us to help shape their events: thank you. These nominations are as much yours as they are ours.
