What we have found this year is an even greater enthusiasm surrounding not only the event but the industry too. We’ve seen some globally acclaimed work picking up awards which is fantastic for the European industry. We’re delighted that we could celebrate 25 years in Lisbon, it’s been a true celebration of the continent’s achievements.”
