CHICAGO — The deadline for submissions for the Trade Show Executive (TSE) Gold 100 Grand Awards and Women to Watch program is Wednesday, July 17.
The Grand Prix winners will be announced on stage at the Gold 100 Awards gala on September 18, and the Women to Watch will also share the spotlight with recognition at the gala. Gold 100 Awards and Summit will take place at the Ritz-Carlton Bacara in Santa Barbara, California, from September 17-19.
Grand Prix Information
In addition to recognizing the top 100 U.S. trade shows of 2023, the TSE will also recognize additional shows for the Gold 100 Grand Awards. The winners of these awards will be held in strict confidence until the envelopes are opened at the gala.
The TSE will highlight one show in each category with a coveted crystal trophy. In the TSE’s quest to find shows that exemplify the best of the best, the Grand Prix are open to shows of all sizes, not just the largest. Your show does not need to be ranked in the 2023 Gold 100 class to be nominated for a Grand Prix.
Trade show organizers who consider their events to be at the forefront of social media, marketing strategies, technology and data, or any other category can enter their events. Winners will be determined based on how well the event’s initiatives and performance meet the award criteria.
