Our Partners

The European Social Services Awards brings people from across Europe together to celebrate achievements in social services and the passion and dedication of those who work in the delivery of social services to make a difference for the most vulnerable in our societies.

Partners can:

  • Meet social services professionals with different backgrounds and from different sectors
  • Learn about the latest social policy and practice trends
  • Discuss opportunities and challenges
  • Showcase solutions and products to potential clients.

Partners can benefit from displaying an exhibition stand during the networking day, sponsoring an award category and/or the gala dinner.

Contact the ESN Development Coordinator Francesco Capuani at francesco.capuani@esn-eu.org to find out more about the partnership opportunities available.
