Winners of the Grand Awards will be announced on stage at the Gold 100 Awards Gala, on Sept. 18, and the Women to Watch will also share in the spotlight with recognition during the gala.

Grand Awards Information
In addition to honoring the 100 largest U.S.-based trade shows of 2023, TSE will single out additional shows for the Gold 100 Grand Awards. The winners of these awards will be held in strict confidence until the envelopes are opened at the gala.
TSE will spotlight one show in each of the categories with a coveted crystal trophy. In TSE’s quest to seek out shows that exemplify the best of the best, the Grand Awards are open to shows of all sizes, not just the largest. Your show does not need to be ranked in the Gold 100 Class of 2023 to be nominated for a Grand Award.
Show managers who consider their shows to be at the forefront of social media, marketing strategies, technology and data, or any of the other categories, may enter their events. Winners will be based on how well the event’s initiatives and performance align with the award criteria.
Don’t miss your chance to have your show recognized as a Grand Award winner! Submit a nomination here.
