The best projects will be presented live on Monday, 28 August. The jury evaluation will take place in person in Cankarjev dom’s Club CD. A record-breaking 37 events from 14 countries will compete for the coveted awards in four main categories: B2B, B2C, B2E and Crossover. In addition, projects will compete for six special jury awards (best event agency, best event in corporate social responsibility, best online event, best hybrid event, best sustainable event and most creative event).
The expert jury selected the finalists based on strict evaluation criteria. The three-stage evaluation takes place according to a unique 80/20 model (the expert jury contributes 80% of the votes, while the audience at Conventa Crossover contributes 20%). The organisers emphasised that they are the only competition that evaluates works this way. They introduced the evaluation to the jury and the audience a decade ago and received positive responses. This approach ensures the highest level of objectivity of the competition.
Gorazd Čad, the project founder, emphasised: “The best event award competition is a compass heralding the direction of the meetings industry. It shows which projects are game-changers and why. In addition, it showcases the most creative, original and relevant events. Furthermore, best event award competitions help event organisers compare themselves to the competition, uncovering which event agencies can host the most demanding projects.”
The jury evaluation will take place in person on Monday, 28 August 2023, from 10.00 to 17.00. The winners will be announced on Tuesday, 29 August 2023, during a gala award ceremony at Ljubljana Castle.
Conventa Crossover is organised by Toleranca marketing and Conventa trade show in cooperation with Ljubljana Tourism, the Slovenian Tourist Board and the Slovenian Convention Bureau.
