2010 Orlando WOW Awards and Peer Awards
The 2010 Orlando WOW Awards team is proud to introduce, for the first time ever, a special Peer Awards segment!
What are the Peer Awards?
The Peer Awards create an opportunity for Orlando special event professionals to recognize fellow peers for their talents in the year of 2009. The top five professionals who have the highest quantity of name submissions in each Peer of the Year category will then be redistributed to all five organizations (ABC, HSMAI, ISES, MPI, NACE) for final voting on the top five in each category. The person with the most votes will be awarded the PEER OF THE YEAR for that category.
This presentation of the PEER AWARDS will be included in the evening’s festivities and will serve as a precursor to the prestigious WOW Awards ceremony.
THEN…. Plan to come to the event!
Boom Boom… WOW!
