2020 has transformed the way we think about live events. The very best teams were able to remain agile and creative in the face of unprecedented disruption. The Drum Awards for Experience celebrate the most effective and exciting activations, as well as the people, technologies, and venues that made them successful.

Samsung experience awards

HeyHuman, Smyle, The Mill and Superfly are among this year's nominees for The Drum Awards for Experience.

This year's jury was made up once again of senior figures from the world of activations and experiences, including Condé Nast, The Sunshine Nation Group, British Fashion Council, VCCP Singapore, and Mondelez. The panel was chaired by Katherine Tooley, SVP of Experiential at Vice Media Group.

The Drum is proud to present these awards in partnership with Winmo.

In light of the ongoing global situation, The Drum Awards have moved online. A virtual ceremony will take place on Thursday, 3 December 2020 at 4pm GMT. It will be free to attend and you can register here.
