With 470 entries for the 20th edition of BEA World, the events industry is preparing to showcase its very best at the Auditorium Parco della Musica Ennio Morricone in Rome.

The projects still in the running for the festival’s top honours will be evaluated by corporate juries on November 21, through the well-established mechanism of live presentations delivered by the agencies behind them.

The countdown has officially begun for the 20th edition of BEA World. After an initial online voting phase, the corporate jury, chaired by Gonçalo Oliveira, Director – Strategy & Business Enablement and Marketing & Communication at Deloitte, has drawn up the shortlist of finalist events, which will be presented live in Rome on November 21.

“Being included in the shortlist is already an official acknowledgement of professional excellence, a mark of distinction awarded by the sector’s decision makers: brands, marketing directors, communication managers, event professionals, and agencies who shape the experience marketing landscape every day. It’s not just a formal prize: it’s a recognition shared by the market itself, expressed by those who truly build it. Making it to the shortlist means far more than competing for a trophy; it means being among the projects that define the year’s standards, having your ideas read, discussed, and evaluated by an independent jury of experts, and being able to state that you represent the very best in the event industry. It’s a result that opens doors, generates visibility, and strengthens reputations,” said Salvatore Sagone, President of ADC Group.
