CONGRATULATIONS 2025 ADMEI Awards finalists!
The 2025 ADMEI Awards finalists represent some of the most outstanding work in the Destination Management Company (DMC) industry. Finalists and winners were selected by an international panel of judges, including association and corporate planners, hoteliers, venues, photographers, production companies, and agencies—well-versed in the DMC industry. Judges remain anonymous throughout the process, and their decisions are final.
Each category includes up to three finalists (barring any ties), except for the Best Overall Program category, which may feature up to five finalists.
Winners will be announced during the Awards Dinner & Gala at the ADMEI Annual Conference in Arlington, TX, USA, on Tuesday, February 25, 2025. Join us in celebrating these achievements!
