Award Ceremonies: Management of Award Ceremonies that honour staff or 
acquire and customers are gaining popularity. Award Ceremonies are an important 
type of events when consider that we live in a society that loves to honour people for 
their achievements. Some of the most watched programs on television are award 
ceremonies including the Oscars, the Grammy‘s and the Olympics. Companies, 
organizations and other groups love to honour their own. These ceremonies are 
coordinated by in-hour meeting or marketing professionals or outside companies. 
Small awards ceremonies that are just for the company could be held in the company 
board room or at a local restaurant. If you are planning a big community event than

they have to decide menus and make sure that the venue has everything, number a 
guest speaker at your awards ceremony, particularly if these are community-oriented 
awards. Guest speakers can talk about the mission of your organization inspire others 
to be award winners next year. Again, the event planner can choose a local celebrity, 
a well-known personality or someone from within 
the organization.
