Lounge Group became the best event agency in Central Europe

The Conventa Best Event Award is one of the most prestigious event industry competitions in Europe, where not only the creativity and innovation of the events are rewarded, but technological solutions and social impact are also important aspects of the evaluation. This year’s call was particularly noteworthy, as a record number of entries were received: nearly 50 events from 16 countries were presented to the international, 23-member expert jury, who, coming from different countries and industry backgrounds, brought diverse perspectives to the decision-making process.

The judging consisted of several stages: after the announcement of the shortlist, the finalists presented their projects live in two minutes at the Crossover festival, where they also answered the jury’s questions, thus ensuring complete transparency and a fair evaluation. In addition to collecting six awards in various categories, the Lounge Group also won the title of “Event Organizer of the Year” in a strong field, making them the most recognized in the competition. Gorazd Čad, the founder of the competition, praised the group’s projects, calling them “game changers” that showed a new direction for the industry.

The Sneakpeek project supporting young talents, which brought the advertising industry closer to the young generation within the framework of Sneakerness Budapest, won the “Best Pop-Up Event” category and took second place in the “Best Crossover Event” main category. The Papal Visit event took first place in the “Best Ceremony” category and second in the “Best Technology” category. Heim Pál Children’s Hospital’s Christmas drone show won a bronze medal in the “Best in Creativity” category, while the World Athletics Championships 2023 also finished third in the “Best Technology” category.
