About the awards

Wellness, at the scale of a meeting.

The Event Wellness Awards are presented by Olympian Meeting in partnership with #FIT4EVENTS™.

Spas and leisure travel have their wellness awards. These are for meetings and events.

These awards honor the work that makes meetings and events healthier for everyone in the room: attendees, planners and the crews who build the show. We look for practices other organizers can learn from and adopt, whether that is a protected evening on the agenda, a zero-proof bar, a gym worth using or a production schedule that lets people sleep.

Winners are chosen by a panel of judges on innovation, impact and their contribution to wellness in our industry, and are announced each January.

Spas traditionally don’t scale to provide wellness solutions for groups of 200 to 2,000. By prioritizing attendee and overall wellbeing, we’re setting new standards for impactful, meaningful meetings and events.

Our intention

What the awards are for.

We give these awards so more events follow the winners’ lead.

01

Promote excellence in wellness integration

Recognize the venues, agencies and production teams that do wellness well, and share their methods so others can copy them.

02

Advance industry standards

Make physical, mental and social wellbeing a normal part of event planning, next to budget and logistics.

03

Encourage practical innovation

Reward ideas that work on site, from nutritious menus to movement breaks and mindfulness sessions in the agenda.

04

Drive engagement and return

Show that putting wellness first pays off in attendee satisfaction, better networking and return on investment.

05

Celebrate leadership and commitment

Honor the people and organizations who put attendee and crew health first, and give others a reason to follow.

06

Strengthen social responsibility

Recognize events that leave something good behind in the cities and communities that host them.
