All Creative Branding are the kind sponsors for the VE:Forum Visitor Experience Awards 2019.
In 2018, we launched the VE:Forum Visitor Experience Awards. Now in its second year the scheme recognises the fantastic work Visitor Experience teams do in museums, galleries and visitor attractions across the UK & Ireland. Museums, galleries and visitor attractions were invited to nominate teams and individuals whom they feel deserve recognition. This is the first UK / Irish awards scheme of this type.
The award scheme is free to take part in and all nominees are invited to the awards ceremony which this year will be held at the London Transport Museum in August 2019. We believe passionately in ensuring all of our events are free to attend to ensure that our events are as accessible as possible to members whether they are small local or big national organisations.
