How to enter

All the essentials you need to know to enter the 17th edition of the world’s #1 awards for events and experience marketing.

What’s new

  1. Eventex Summit 2027

    On November 3–4, 2027, the global events and experience marketing industry meets in Vienna to celebrate excellence, meet the best, and build what’s next.

  2. A new trophy

    It’s handmade by a local artist, shaped as an obelisk, and sealed in wax.

  3. Grand Prix, decided by the Jury Presidents

    The highest honor at Eventex Awards now has its own track, and the verdict rests with the Jury Presidents alone. Winners will also have the chance to accept their trophy on stage at Excellence Night during the Summit.

  4. A refreshed category structure

    Nine tracks now include Regional Awards, which brings global recognition closer to home across six regions: APAC, Africa, Europe, Latin America, the Middle East, and North America.

  5. Recognition that lasts all year

    Every win earns points toward the Eventex Index, and select winners may be invited onto the Eventex Podcast.
