Also, early registration for the awards has been extended until Sept. 23. Please register at T-awards.
For the “Best of Show” award we are leaving it up to YOU to tell us why you think your show is the BEST.
What made your event so outstanding?
Did an exhibitor at your show break a record and obtain the most leads ever?
Did you have the best sessions, games, music, food or networking environment?
Was your show filled with best dressed or friendliest attendees this year?
Maybe your show really was the greenest and did its part to help save the planet?
Did you add some "secret sauce" to the showfloor that created an unparalleled end-user experience?
Did you increase your exhibitor base by impressive numbers from your last event(s)?
Did you use new technology in a new and exciting way - QR codes, social media, mobile marketing, etc.?
Come on, tell us how you showed off and what made you unrivaled ... it’s OK to brag when you’re the BEST! The other awards will be chosen using TSNN data and internal judging.
To submit your entry for “Best of Show” just write up a few paragraphs on why you think your show should be chosen and submit online at T-awards. Be sure to include examples or supporting data if applicable. Deadline to submit for “Best of Show” is Sept. 23.
The top THREE entries will be reviewed by a select panel of judges and then the industry will vote through an extensive social media and PR campaign which one deserves to be “Best of Show”. The show managers from the three shows will be invited to the 2011 TSNN Event Excellence Awards celebration where the winner will be named. To register for conference and/or awards please click HERE.
We look forward to seeing you at the 2nd annual 2011 TSNN Event Excellence Awards (T-awards), Nov. 4-6 at the Omni Shoreham Hotel, Washington, D.C.
The C-level conference will feature the heads of IAEE and SISO speaking about the “State of the Industry”, as well as show managers discussing the latest in social media and another session focusing on visa issues.

Just when it seems like Las Vegas can’t get any bigger, brighter or more exciting for groups, MGM Resorts raises the bar again. The company continues to invest and innovate across its portfolio of Las Vegas resorts, with new attractions and upgraded experiences for attendees of all interests.
Remodeled Guest Rooms
MGM Grand is the largest single hotel in the world with over 5,000 guest rooms and an 850,000-square-foot conference center. It is home to the newly remodeled MGM Grand Studio Tower—700 reimagined guest rooms with a fun mid-century vibe. Nearby, the iconic New York-New York Las Vegas Hotel & Casino recently completed a $63M redesign and remodel of its 1,830 guest rooms and 155 suites.
Down the street, Bellagio Las Vegas is sporting renovated rooms in the Spa Tower with sunrise-inspired decor and luxurious soaking tubs in Premier King rooms after a $110-million transformation.
Reinvented Luxury Experiences
The Luxury Meetings District, made up of Bellagio Las Vegas, ARIA Resort & Casino, Vdara Hotel & Spa, The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, Park MGM and NoMad Las Vegas, is now more connected than ever before. A new interior walkway opened this October for a seamless attendee experience – connecting Vdara, Bellagio, and The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, guests can now walk from Park MGM to Bellagio in around 15 minutes.
New on the scene in the Luxury Meetings District is Cathedrale at ARIA, TAO Group’s upscale establishment specializing in exquisite French-Mediterranean cuisine offering elevated private dining experiences that opened in May.
Heralded by World’s Best 50 Restaurants, GQ and VOGUE, LPM at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas is opening this fall and will deliver its signature spontaneity and imaginative celebration of France’s Mediterranean cuisine, art, and culture to the unique luxury resort in impeccable fashion.
A “New Wave for Mandalay Bay
A new wave of enhancements and experiences has arrived at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino, including Flanker Kitchen + Sports Bar, an 8,445-square-foot restaurant that opened this June, perfect for pre- and post-game eats and drinks. Event planner’s favorite, Chef Michael Mina’s StripSteak, received a full renovation and now includes one of the largest private dining rooms on The Strip. Retro by Voltaggio debuts a one-year residency with a fun take on pop culture of the 80s and 90s with classic American dishes. An exciting addition planned for 2024 is Swingers, a 40,000-square-foot oasis of street food, miniature golf and art at Mandalay Bay.
Most exciting for meeting planners, the 2.1 million-square-foot Mandalay Bay Convention Center is undergoing a complete refresh, with lightened space, added eye-catching art, and improved technology infrastructure for even more flexible space. Energy-efficient digital signage now leads the way with faster internet speeds and new AV options.
From renovated guest rooms and meeting spaces to celebrated dining options and dedicated teams, MGM Resorts is dedicated to delivering exceptional and innovative meeting experiences.
