Save The Date! Sunday, April 11th, 2010 at the new Loews Hotel!
.jpg)
Twenty years ago, one of the most influential men in the event industry had the foresight to realize that Atlanta was quickly rising as a leading city for special events and needed an awards gala especially for industry professionals to honor and promote excellence in event design, planning and production.
As an active and trusted member of both the International Special Events Society (ISES) and the National Association of Catering Executives (NACE), he, along with a committee of other industry visionaries, thought it prudent that the two organizations come together to produce the event – to be “allies” in promoting the best event and catering achievements held in and/or by Atlanta-based
event and catering companies, planners and vendors.
The inaugural event was held in March 1991 for a group of nearly 185 event professionals in the greater Atlanta area. And, thus The Allie Awards were born.
Twenty years later, Tim Lundy’s vision is not only a reality, but it is thriving. Events being planned by and for Atlanta-based companies are recognized worldwide. Our talent has grown, matured and developed and is respected at regional, national and global levels. The Allie Awards Nite is stronger than ever.
On April 11, 2010, we continue Tim’s belief with the 20th Annual Allie Awards Nite - A Birthday Celebration - at the new Loews Atlanta Hotel in Midtown. We hope you will join us and carry on the tradition of honoring the best of the best. We encourage you to toot your own horn, stand out from the crowd and enter the Allies.
Allie Award Submissions are due by: Thursday, February 25th at 4:00pm!
