VENUE

The Tech Innovation Awards will take place at the iconic Kia Oval, London.

The Kia Oval, an iconic cricket ground in Kennington, south London, has been home to Surrey County Cricket Club since 1845. Easily accessible from the West End, the City, and all South East counties, it has hosted international cricket since 1880. In 2024, Surrey reached a modern day record of 20,080 Members and continues to grow its non-matchday business, establishing the Oval as one of London’s leading conference and events venues. With its 180th year approaching, three England international fixtures scheduled, the defence of the 2024 County Championship, and a range of exciting off-field developments, 2025 promises to be an extraordinary year for Surrey and the Kia Oval.
