November 30th, 2019. Last Friday night once again the events industry was celebrated during Bea World Festival 2019, the global contest powered by ADC Group awarding the best events and the best locations of the year worldwide. Over 500 delegates attended the ceremony hosted on the stage of The Mall, one of the ‘coolest’ event venues in Milan, located in the heart of Porta Nuova.
For the first time in its history, Bea World Festival took place in Milan within the first edition of Live Communication Week, the new format inaugurated with Bea Italy Festival (26th – 27thNovember), dedicated to the Italian event industry. The theme ‘Nature of Events’ determined the content of the whole Live Communication Week 2019 and particularly of Bea World Festival on November 29th. Speakers from both inside and outside the events industry talked about the why, how and what of cooperation, which is the nature of the events. A wide variety of workshops to boost creativity and learning.
After a full day of live presentations and voting and very intense debate, the Jury Panel led by Alexander Safonov, Global Event Director Oriflame Cosmetics, proclaimed the winners of 2019, a record breaking year in terms of countries represented (30 across the globe) with 160 shortlisted entries competing for the prestigious Elephant trophies.

Best Event Agency goes to The Oval Office, Belgium
This year, ADC Group has introduced the Elephant Prodige Award sponsored by Lavazza, a great platform for young talents from the international events industry. The competition aims at recognising the talent and creativity of the next generation of event professionals, as well as showcasing their skills to the whole live communications industry. Projects have been judged by the client and the winning team was crowned live during the Best Event Award ceremony.
It is possible to check all entries and winners on Bea World website
All Jury members, chosen among corporate event and marketing managers from a representative range of sectors and countries, plus senior representatives of event agencies’ associations from different countries in the world, committed to abide by a Code of Ethics. The result was a transparent, live and face-to face competition that avoided conflicts between Jury members and candidates, by preventing jurors from corporations to vote for a project from their own company and jurors from associations to vote for projects from their own country.
The Award Ceremony has seen the presence of 40 countries showing the importance of the Festival as the unique international networking place where to be for celebrating the event industry and where creativity meets business.
A few words from Salvatore Sagone, The President of ADC group and the Best Award Festival:
“The most important added value of Bea World Festival is doubtless its internationality. This year it has been a record edition in terms of country participating at Bea World: almost 40 from around the world, from the far east to west, from north to south.
This makes Bea World and the Live Communication Week an unique platform for those who work in the event industry and for those who want to meet and network with colleagues coming from all over the globe”
Bea World Festival is an initiative by ADC Group thanks to the collaboration of Masters in Moderation, Next Group and Terra Events.
The event is under the patronage of the Municipality of Milan.
