The National Outdoor Events Association (NOEA) has unveiled a new logo as it celebrates its 45th year in 2025. The new look is an addition to the existing identity, and a small piece of recognition for the stability and longevity of NOEA, its members, and the wider events industry.
Despite the landmark, it will be business as usual for NOEA, however members will be invited to mark the occasion at both The Showman’s Show and the NOEA Annual Awards & Convention later this year.
And, while the 45th celebration will be focused on looking forward, it’s not easy to forget the challenges that have hit the industry since the association’s inception in 1980, from foot and mouth to the covid pandemic, recession, cost of living crisis, and inflation.
However, according to Tom Clements, President, NOEA, the association’s 45th Birthday is all about the future for NOEA. “It’s difficult not to feel confident, proud, and purposeful about our industry in NOEA’s 45th year,” comments Tom. “We have been through so much, but, at every turn, come out as a more innovative, diverse, inclusive and creative industry. We remain, over all these years, the envy of the world.”
As well as marking the success of the UK events industry, NOEA will also be recognising the influence UK event businesses and professionals have on the global events industry. Tom adds, “Events are one of the UK’s finest exports, our people are asked to travel the world with their experience and expertise, our business are globally leading. As we mark this year, we continue to celebrate that the industry is ‘live at 45’.”
