This feature is sponsored by Czarnowski Collective, a group of four specialized studios that deliver brand-defining experiences built with wonder. We draw on diverse expertise and a culture of curiosity to help brands reimagine what’s possible and create more meaningful connections with audiences everywhere.
As a leading resource for meeting and event professionals, BizBash is no stranger to innovation, creativity, and a high quality of execution. Hence the creation of our Event Experience Awards (EEAs), which, in their 12th year, prove that event profs are at the top of their game. Advancements in tech (hello, AI), the undeniability of sporting events making a mark in culture, and the desire to authentically connect have contributed to our most impressive list of finalists yet.
With more than 70 categories spanning live, destination, hybrid, and virtual experiences, check out the finalists below (in no particular order) for BizBash's 12th Annual EEAs.
Winners will be announced at our live award ceremony on Dec. 9 and published on Dec. 10.
This year's finalists are...
