EXPANDED OFFERINGS
For the 2024 Excellence In Concessions package, VenuesNow recognizes the importance of the food and beverage industry, and the publication’s role in highlighting the work behind the scenes that drives business and enhances experiences, from providing heightened culinary offerings to being the battleground for the newest technology to get fans back in action and to their seats.
This year sees a few additional new award categories, one differentiating between new and renovated spaces, an additional sustainability category and a new retail item category. There’s also a spot to highlight a special annual event, such as this year’s occasion, the Paris 2024 Summer Olympic Games.
This year’s Excellence in Concessions package also includes additional editorial elements, hoping to give further insight to a vast and increasingly varied industry, a core business that also leads the way in sustainability efforts.
