24 February 2023

At the close of ADMEI's 2023 Annual Conference, attendees enjoyed a very special Awards Gala with a powerful opening video provided by sponsor Go West Creative / Spoken Cinema, dinner wine sponsored by Access Destination Services, and great entertainment sponsored by BeatMix Music!

Suffering from FOMO or want to share the opening video with your team? See below!

(We're working on a highlight reel and will share that as soon as it is complete!)

Of course, the most important part of the night was celebrating and recognizing Award-winning DMCs! The winners in each category are listed below.
