19 November: The Financial Times won Best Event Linked to a Publication at the 2020 Conference Awards for The Global Boardroom, FT Live’s three-day online conference in partnership with The Next Web (TNW).

The conference series launched virtually in May of this year, with a second iteration launched in November.  The first of its kind event was produced in only five weeks and was done entirely remote, digital and live. The first edition brought together more than 52,000 attendees across the globe to hear from policy-makers, CEOs, investors and other thought leaders as they discussed and debated the new world emerging from the pandemic.

Conference Awards judges were “impressed by FT’s agility and ability to attract such a great turnout”. The awards, now in their tenth year, recognise, celebrate and encourage achievement in conference & events
