We have had some changes to the regular Hustle Awards format. Now in its fifth year, we have listened to feedback from past attendees, and thought this year would be the perfect time to trial some of your ideas. The 2025 Hustle Awards will be pivoting towards a more informal, networking-driven experience. The aim of this is to create space for genuine conversations, chance encounters, and new collaborations in an environment that encourages connection over ceremony.

This year’s ceremony will now be taking place on the 10th July at Shoreditch Exchange, London. Shoreditch Exchange is one of Oneder’s spaces. Oneder creates beautifully designed flexible workspaces offering spaces to work however you work. Oneder’s buildings are filled with thoughtfully designed lounges, meeting rooms, event spaces, podcast studios, gyms, screening rooms, and more. They are all created to support both productivity and wellbeing. Every space is home to an inclusive community with curated events, networking opportunities, and hands-on support from our brilliant community teams.

Rachel Boswell, Marketing Manager, Startups Magazine, commented: “We know the real magic often happens between speeches – over a drink, a shared joke, or an unexpected introduction. This year’s Hustle Awards will honour that energy. It’s still about celebrating excellence, but we’re loosening the tie to make room for more meaningful interactions.”

We are also pleased to announce our host for this year, the fantastic Stephanie Melodia. Stephanie is a public speaker for international tech conferences and company events, delivering motivational speeches, opening keynotes, and team workshops on the subjects of resilience, innovation, growth, creativity, and AI.

We hope to see you at this year’s Hustle Awards, where we’ll be able to network over a drink, a shared joke, or an unexpected introduction.

Tickets are now only £20, £5 for students, and are on sale NOW!
