The IAVM Foundation has announced the 30|UNDER|30 Class of 2023. The program, in its eighth year, is made possible thanks to the ongoing support of Momentus Technologies, as well as many IAVM Foundation donors.
Designed to engage the best and brightest young professionals in the venue management industry, the 30|UNDER|30 program recognizes emerging leaders – and their talents – which help accelerate the industry and carry it into the future. The Class of 2023 will convene at VenueConnect 2023 in Pittsburgh, PA, July 31-August 3.
“This year’s 30|UNDER|30 class was incredibly competitive with 143 nominations,” stated James Wynkoop, CVE, Chair of the IAVM Foundation Board of Trustees. “The members of the Class of 23 are not only talented at what they do, but also able to communicate effectively in multiple formats. They have demonstrated both creative and critical thinking abilities. The IAVM Foundation is proud to announce this class of 30|UNDER|30 as one of the best in the history of the program. We’d like to thank all the nominees, the judges, and the members who nominated such a deserving group of young professionals.”
Award recipients will receive full complimentary registration to VenueConnect, as well as four nights’ accommodations at one of the conference host hotels. Honorees will be recognized throughout the annual meeting.
