2023 VenuesNow All-Stars

WINNING TIME

all Star. Best in class. First place. Champion. These types of accolades are usually reserved for the academic and athletic. However, the live sports and entertainment business presents — and requires — similar talents to deliver exhilarating experiences, top-notch service and the infrastructure to make it all happen. Any successful live event is a highly choreographed and complex web of operations requiring leadership, precise execution and vision. The VenuesNow 2023 All-Stars class celebrates all facets of the live experience, from the executives formulating efficient logistics to the big-idea maestros pulling the strings and moving mountains. This year’s honorees have once again more than made their mark in the live sports and entertainment business.
