Methodology

The list for the public vote will include all nominations, submitted during the official nomination period (October 20 – October 27, 2025). Late nominations (October 27 – November 7, 2025) will also be included, however, they will have less time to collect votes.

We will get in touch with all nominees to inform them of their nomination and let them know about the next steps.

The public voting will take place between October 27 and November 7, 2025.

All voters will have the opportunity to vote for up to 10 people.

The public vote is restricted to people from the events community, whereby submitting a vote, voters declare that they are part of the events or a related industry.

The list of The Most Influential People in the Events Industry will be determined based on the votes received.

If there are equal results, the person with more nominations will have an advantage. In the case of equal votes and nominations, both individuals are included in the ranking.

The results will be published in alphabetical order in the second half of November 2025.
