2024 Award Finalists

CONGRATULATIONS to all 2024 ADMEI Awards finalists!

Finalists and winners are determined by scores entered by judges from around the world. These judges are familiar with DMCs (association and corporate planners, hoteliers, venues, photographers, production companies, agencies, etc.). Judging is anonymous - judges do not see any company-specific information (except Best Destination Marketing). The judges remain anonymous throughout the process too, and their decisions are final.

Up to 3 finalists (barring any ties) are named in each category, with the exception of Best Overall Program, which may have up to 5 finalists.

Winners will be announced at the ADMEI Annual Conference in Atlanta, GA, USA, during the Awards Dinner & Gala on Saturday, 24 February 2024.
