Jörg Peter Krebs from Switzerland Tourism
The fiylo special prize will be awarded this year to Jörg Peter Krebs from Switzerland Tourism.
The location award is presented by an expert jury to independent event experts. Each nominated location is checked in a complex mystery-shooping process, examined by a jury member on site and the presentation checked in a detailed debate. Only when all parameters have been assessed can the "Jury of the Incorruptible" chaired by Manuela Thomsen (German Sparkasse and Giro Association) and Colja M. Dams (VOK DAMS Agency for Events + Live Marketing) determine the winner.
"With the Location Award, we were able to establish a unique and internationally recognized honorary award - an honest, critical, constructive and authentic award for the best locations," says Frank Lienert, initiator of the Location Award, in a nutshell. The gala event for the award ceremony has developed as the highlight of the year and a must-be event for the multi-billion dollar MICE industry. Around 600 guests came together at this year's glamorous Award Night in the exhibition halls in Hanover. The guest list had to be closed early; numerous ticket inquiries could no longer be served - the Location Award 2018 was fully booked .
