Ljubljana will host the eighth Conventa Crossover festival. The event is considered the premier and only regional event of professional event organisers and creative minds. A central part of the event is the finale of the Conventa Best Event Award competition. A distinguished 20-member international jury selected the finalists and winners. The best projects will be presented live on Monday, 28 August. The jury evaluation will take place in person in Cankarjev dom’s Club CD. A record-breaking 37 events from 14 countries will compete for the coveted awards in four main categories: B2B, B2C, B2E and Crossover. In addition, projects will compete for six special jury awards (best event agency, best event in corporate social responsibility, best online event, best hybrid event, best sustainable event and most creative event).
The expert jury selected the finalists based on strict evaluation criteria. The three-stage evaluation takes place according to a unique 80/20 model (the expert jury contributes 80% of the votes, while the audience at Conventa Crossover contributes 20%). The organisers emphasised that they are the only competition that evaluates works this way. They introduced the evaluation to the jury and the audience a decade ago and received positive responses. This approach ensures the highest level of objectivity of the competition.
