Event Teams Awards Membership
Stay involved all year
Membership is a year-round part of Event Teams Awards for people who want ongoing connection, information, opportunities, benefits, and experiences.
Year-round involvement
Stay connected through applicable information, opportunities, benefits, and experiences throughout the membership year—not simply one event. Specific offerings may vary by membership year.
Separate from attendance
Future in-person experiences are private and invitation-only. Membership alone does not guarantee admission, a ticket purchase, or an invitation; access rules are still being developed.
Never required for nomination
Nominations are nationwide and community-driven. Membership is not required, does not affect nomination or review, and does not make someone a Recognition Nominee. Recognition Nominees do not have to purchase membership.
Why become a member?
Membership gives Recognition Nominees and non-Recognition Nominees a way to remain connected throughout the year. It is separate from nomination, Official Nominee Selection status, winning, partnership, and attendance.
Membership benefits
Benefits, discounts, opportunities, and event access may vary throughout the membership year.
Early event updates
Be among the first to receive general information about upcoming Event Teams Awards events, experiences, and opportunities.

Year-round connection

General updates and Recognition Nominee communications
Members may be among the first to receive general announcements, event information, and member opportunities. Individuals selected to move forward as Recognition Nominees are contacted directly through the official Event Teams Awards Recognition Nominee process. Membership does not provide advance confidential Recognition Nominee information or affect nomination or selection.
