The Experience Design Awards, (formerly the Experience Design & Technology Awards), recognize outstanding event design, innovative builds and environmental creativity across a wide variety of consumer-targeted and business-to-business event formats. A jury of brand-side judges will review consumer event activations, b-to-b experiences and trade show footprints, and will award winning creative teams with a gold, silver, bronze or “shortlist” award based on overall creative strategy, originality, and how the design and execution ultimately engaged audiences.
