Researching the pros and cons of Annual Award Dinners and Company Showcase Pitching at conferences, respecting that the role of a not-for-profit membership organisation is to maximise support whilst mitigating any incurred overhead on its members, One Nucleus has transformed their approach to two of their flagship annual events. The Annual Awards will now form a key element within Genesis on Thursday 10 December in London.

There are three distinct advantages for our network:

• Enabling greater connectivity and visibility to complement the profile and branding advantages of award-winning and shortlisting.
• Driving quality of the showcase pitching sessions by applying robust selection and curation criteria associated with award category shortlisting.
• Reduces the budget and diary burden on participants whilst maximising opportunities for partnering, investor contact, and recognition of excellence.

Tony Jones, CEO, One Nucleus, explained; “One Nucleus is always acutely aware of the need to deliver activities with the highest quality, cost-effectiveness and support possible. Rather than delivering activities that seek to maximise income generation for One Nucleus to sustain our business, it is vital we continue to innovate to ensure we focus on providing truly beneficial support to our membership and wider network. I am delighted to be bringing such positive events together, delivering the benefits of both whilst reducing the overhead placed on our community.”

The Annual Awards Ceremony and Gala Reception will be within Genesis 2026, with shortlisted companies in the pitching categories forming the curated sessions in the Company Showcase throughout the day, whilst announcing the winners ahead of the gala reception provides an excellent culmination to that day to recognise excellence as we head towards the festive break.
