The Bea World Festival is the essential meeting place and networking event for the international event community. Two inspiring days full of creativity, networking opportunities, knowledge transfer, and destination experiences culminate in the ceremonies celebrating the winners of the Best Event Awards. Created in 2006 to recognise and promote excellence in events and live communication, the Best Event Awards have helped participating agencies from more than 40 countries around the world in finding inspiration and new ideas for their events, and are now acknowledged as the leading international industry recognition.
As in previous years, shortlisted agencies will have the opportunity to present their projects live to the Bea World Festival Jury and delegates. The Bea World Festival 2026 will take place in Venice, Italy, from 26 to 27 November.
