Hero & Icon Awards

Hospitality’s most coveted accolades

The Peach 20/20 Hero & Icon Awards recognise and celebrate the best the industry has to offer – the leadership, creativity, inventiveness, agility and commitment to quality of both companies and individuals.

Winners are selected either by votes of fellow industry leaders or the public.

The high point of the awards ceremony, which follows the Peach 20/20 Conference each year, is the award of the Peach 20/20 Icon trophy, which goes to individuals who have made a lasting and positive contribution to this sector, people who inspire. They join our exclusive group of Icon winners – the industry’s own Hall of Fame, innovate and set the standards.
