The Awards
The Trade Association Forum Awards are the leading awards recognising the UK association world.
Held annually at a prestigious location, the awards recognise associations that have delivered for their members, their sector or made outstanding contributions over the previous year.
The Trade Association Awards contribute to the success of trade associations and their staff at all levels within the trade association world and help bring them closer to fulfilling their goals, as well as contributing to their learning and development opportunities.
Last year, more than 350 people came together to celebrate the UK association sector, watch the highlights reels here or see all the winners here!

Receiving a Trade Association Award will mean your organisation has the kudos of being an award-winning organisation. On top of that, it is an excellent opportunity to showcase your organisation and its expertise among your contemporaries and encourage others to follow your lead on running a successful organisation which focuses on members’ needs.
By entering, you can benchmark your organisation against other UK trade associations, sharpen the focus of your organisation and its activities, learn from trade association best practice and motivate and reward your colleagues.
