CEI Rising Stars open for nominations

CEI’s inaugural Rising Stars list aims to shine a spotlight on Asia-Pacific’s best and brightest. These are individuals who are delivering great work, practicing model working habits within their companies and/or with their clients, and helping to push the industry forward.

We want to champion rising talent in the industry to inspire and motivate them in their current roles to climb towards leadership positions. We also want to champion industry talent who are bold, dynamic and game-changing.

Candidates must be based in Asia-Pacific and must be holding a job or in an industry directly related to events. Entries are open for individuals working within events at agencies, brands, corporates, venues, convention bureaus, associations and destinations.
