WINNERS OF CBEA22

Conventa Best Event Award 2022, the annual competition that awards the best events in the region of New Europe came to a successful close. The competition’s grand finale took place on 26 August 2022 at the Conventa Crossover conference in the garden of the Grand Hotel Union Eurostars, where the winners were announced. From 28 projects that made it into the final round of voting, 4 winners were selected; the best B2B, B2C, B21, and CROSSOVER events. Furthermore, 5 special awards were given out at the award ceremony.

The absolute winner was Brand Arena Nordic Group, whose event, OneTonne Island, won awards in the B2B category, Best in Sustainability, the Grand Prix Award and was, unsurprisingly, named the Best Event Agency.

The best B2C award went to Velo-City 2022, which took place in Ljubljana and fostered the development of sustainable mobility. In the B2I category, Planet Budapest won the coveted award, while the award for creativity was presented to the Cupra Hero project. The Audience Award and Crossover Event Award was presented to the trailblazing Polish event Open Eyes Summit.


3-phase evaluation process

In the first phase of evaluation, the jury carried out a pre-selection of the registered projects and chose 43 events that made it into the semi-final. In the second phase, all members of the jury panel evaluated each project according to the following criteria: creativity, relevance, innovation, execution, event results, event communication, sustainable policies, legacy, and overall final impression. Based on the evaluated criteria, 28 projects exceeded the threshold and moved into the finals. In the third phase, attendees were able to support their favourite event agency by joining the live voting session and contributing 20% to the final score.
