Fellowship Programme
The EVCOM Fellowship Awards recognise and reward outstanding contributions to the communication industry.
This annual event which takes place at the House of Lords brings together leading professionals from across the industry to celebrate the outstanding work and contributions by Fellows who are chosen as exemplars of the power of communication. Attendees are invited to be the first to hear the announcement of our Fellows, and to hear from each of them about their journey’s and careers to date, their learnings and proudest achievement. Guests then enjoy a three course Christmas lunch overlooking the Thames.
The EVCOM Fellowship Awards continue the tradition of our industry to celebrate innovative, visionary and outstanding achievement in communication.
In 2024 we welcomed Rory Bremner, Sam Wilson (Syntiro Associates) and Rachel Pendered (Auspicious Group) to accept Fellowships on the 12th December. Read our writeup of the 2024 Fellowship Lunch here.
