Awards Events

The BCO Awards Events

The BCO’s annual events programme celebrates members’ achievements on both a regional and central level. Events provide public recognition for top quality office design and functionality, providing a benchmark for excellence in workplaces.

Once regional winners are selected by BCO Regional Awards Judging Panels, they are celebrated at events across the UK. Winners go on to be recognised at the national awards dinner, held in London, where national winners are announced. 

More than 1,200 property professionals attend the BCO Awards Dinner in October. The event not only celebrates the best of the best in the office industry, but provides a welcome opportunity to network and hear from the BCO
