During a highly anticipated general session at the ALSD 2023 Conference & Tradeshow in Indianapolis, Spotlight winners were announced from this year's nine categories.
Spotlight is ALSD's annual contest covering venue design, experiences, and technology - collating innovative projects from across the industry and honoring those who score highest among our judging panel. It's also a great point of reference for colleagues across the landscape to stay current on what their peers are doing.
Judges for this year's competition included Erin Schnieders (Senior VP, Venues, NBA), Tracy Stuckrath (Founder, Culinary Concierge, thrive! meetings & events), Uma Srivastava (Executive Director, KultureCity), and Russ Simons (Chief Listening Officer, Managing Partner, Venue Solutions Group), who also hosted the announcement of the winners during our live ceremony.
