Organised by the Exhibition Showcase magazine, the awards felicitate exhibition organisers for their work and contribution towards the industry. 

The annual industry awards event was being held after a hiatus of two years due to the pandemic. The shows that took place between 2020 and 2022 were considered for the awards.

The next edition of Pamex is scheduled for March 2023. 

According to the Pamex sources, the award comes at the opportune time to underline the growing stature of the exhibition in the international calendar of events for the printing industry.

The Industry Catalyst award is given to an exhibition that helps promote the business of its target industry effectively by providing business opportunities to its participants.
