Last year, BizBash's Event Experience Awards (EEAs) hit a big milestone. The awards program—which recognizes creativity, strategic thinking, and flawless execution in event design, production, and management—celebrated 10 years in 2023 and proved that event profs weren't slowing down. So what does the 11th year signal? That there's no stopping them.
With 75 categories spanning live, destination, hybrid, and virtual experiences, check out the finalists below (in no particular order) for BizBash's 11th Annual EEAs, as determined by our advisory board...
Winners will be announced Wednesday, Feb. 7.

![For the after-party, Event Eleven built three 30-foot pagodas and hung 300 lanterns from the ceiling. They also brought in a 20-foot-tall bonsai tree and a variety of 30-foot red maples, along with other greenery and foliage. '[It all] helped create the organic atmosphere and helped transport guests into a gardenlike room,' said Schubert.](https://img.bizbash.com/files/base/bizbash/bzb/image/2024/02/Shogun.41_f.65dba8f23433b.png?auto=format%2Ccompress&dpr=2&fit=crop&h=167&q=70&w=250)
