Personify, a leading technology solutions provider for associations, nonprofits and event professionals, launched its first-ever A2Z Event Professionals Awards. The new awards program was established to celebrate the agility, creativity and innovation in today’s events and associations industries.  

“So many awards are focused on revenue or square footage,” said Rich Vallaster, director of event marketing at Personify. “While those are critical components to an event’s success, recognizing the ideas of all sizes and the people and teams who have had a huge impact in the industry is why we created these awards.” 

The A2Z Event Professionals Awards are accepting nominations through Dec. 9. Nominees are not required to be A2Z Events users or Personify clients and may range in size and experience from associations to independent show organizers.

Submission categories vary to cover the multitude of opportunities to innovate and impact an event experience on a large or small scale. Nominations are open to any process improvements or suggestions for trade shows, conferences and other gatherings. Clients may nominate themselves, a fellow event professional or an event team for their exceptional work in sponsorships, floor plan management, educational content, attendee engagement, event marketing, activations, community development, team management and more.   

Nominations will be reviewed by a panel of event professionals, who will evaluate submissions based on overall success, creativity and innovation, as well as impact on industry or sector.  

Winners will be announced after Dec. 9 on the company’s website and social media platforms, and celebrated at Expo! Expo! in Louisville, Ky., Dec. 13-15.
