Kongres Magazine’s prestigious search for the brightest stars in the meetings industry is again underway. Since 2014, we have been shining a spotlight on the game-changers, the visionaries – the Dreamcatchers!

Why does the international meetings industry hold its breath during the Meetings Star selection? It’s simple. Our rigorous vetting process, backed by Kongres Magazine’s partner network, ensures we handpick only the crème de la crème.

 These Dreamcatchers are not just stars – they’re innovators, architects of change, and champions of excellence.

The dreamcatchers are divided into categories that allow fair competition between the professionals. The categories are as follows:

  1. Top Meeting Architects (DMO, CVB)
  2. The Most Influential Meeting Agencies
  3. Top Hotels and Venue Representatives
  4. Top Meeting Services (Catering providers)
  5. Top Meeting Services (Technology, Multimedia, Online platforms)
  6. Top Meeting Innovators
  7. Top Event Agencies
  8. Sustainability Dreamcatchers

All of the candidates on the lists met our strict requirements. The Meetings Star is a reputable selection that recognises dreamcatchers who left their mark on the regional meetings industry.

We take pride in sharing our credible list of professionals in 2023/2024. We kindly invite you to cast your votes and partake in our annual selection.

The results will be announced at the award ceremony, which will take place as a part of Conventa on Wednesday, 21st of February 2023, at 18:30 in Cankarjev Dom, Cultural and Congress Centre, Ljubljana, Slovenia.
