BizBash's 10 Most Innovative Meetings 2022 is sponsored by Quest Events, MyClearText, AccessLOOP, and GTHER.

For 12 years, BizBash has recognized the industry’s most creative meetings, conferences, trade shows, and other business gatherings in our annual Most Innovative Meetings feature. And our 2022 list might just be the most diverse yet, with a mix of live and hybrid events from Ohio to Abu Dhabi, from top companies like Forbes, Salesforce, and PepsiCo. 

These inspiring meetings not only showcase smart strategies for launching an inaugural event that makes a big impact, but also tap into human emotions to generate brand loyalty, incorporate innovative sustainability measures and cutting-edge technology, and so much more. Above all, they each reinforce the undeniable power of face-to-face connections—and prove that business doesn't have to be boring.

About the list: This annual feature is compiled by our editorial team using a variety of resources, beginning with sifting through dozens of public nominations and conducting internal research on all meetings nominated. While our features may be sponsored by standout companies, to ensure the list remains impartial, sponsors do not have the ability to review or curate any part of the list themselves.

We encourage you to subscribe to our BizBash Buzz newsletter and follow @BizBash on social media to stay informed when nominations for future BizBash lists and features go live. We welcome any feedback you may have—you can email us here.
