Emota recognised across four categories at the Conference News Awards
Emota has been recognised across four categories at the Conference News Awards 2025, including a win for Pharma and Healthcare Event of the Year.
The recognition reflects the breadth of our work across healthcare, sustainability and global experiential delivery.
Pharma and Healthcare Event of the Year – Winner
Our work with AstraZeneca at ASCO 2025, one of the world’s largest oncology congresses, was awarded Pharma and Healthcare Event of the Year.
At a highly competitive exhibition, the challenge was to create an experience that made complex science easier to explore and understand — without adding to the noise of the congress floor.
The result was a more immersive, audience-first environment. Delegates were invited into a space designed to slow them down, explore content at their own pace, and engage with oncology data in a more intuitive way.
Technology, storytelling and design worked together to create a connected experience — supporting both high-level exploration and deeper scientific engagement.
The booth welcomed over 18,000 visitors, representing more than 40% of attendees, and delivered strong engagement throughout the event.
Judge, Conference News Awards
A superb entry and a very unique take on a congress booth. It is clear from the evidence submitted that innovation was at the heart of this brief, and I liked the fact the booth was designed to be reused multiple times and at different sized events. Well done.

A truly interactive booth experience i really like the delegate self-direction element utilizing the tech.
Sustainability Pioneer – Highly Commended
We were also highly commended for Sustainability Pioneer, recognising our approach to embedding sustainability into the design of the ASCO experience.
Using our Enviroplan methodology, sustainability was built in from the outset — shaping materials, production, logistics and long-term reuse.
A modular system was developed for use across a global programme of congresses, reducing the need for single-use builds and enabling consistent delivery at scale.
Lower-impact materials, reduced freight requirements and digital-first content all contributed to a significant reduction in environmental impact — without compromising the experience itself.
Experiential Agency of the Year – Highly Commended
Emota was highly commended for Experiential Agency of the Year, reflecting our continued growth and the scale of experiences we deliver globally.
Each year, we design and deliver thousands of experiences across congresses, exhibitions and live events — combining strategy, creative, technology and scientific expertise into a single, integrated approach.
Our focus is on creating experiences that are not only engaging in the moment, but also measurable and effective for our clients.
Global Agency of the Year – Highly Commended
We were also highly commended for Global Agency of the Year, recognising the progress we’ve made as a unified global agency.
Since launching, Emota has brought together deep healthcare expertise, creative capability and delivery excellence — working across markets to support clients at both global and local levels.
