The ADMEI Achievement Award winners for 2013 were announced February 9 at a gala event at the end of the ADMEI’s conference. A global panel of judges reviewed more than 90 entries received for events held between September 1, 2011, and August 31, 2012.
“Our event partner Leo Events, that helps us with staging, booking, etc., nominated us, and we won,” said Mary-Kathryn Herrington, director of tourism and marketing for the Oxford Convention & Visitors Bureau. “Many very large destinations were honored at these awards, so this is quite an honor for Oxford and the Double Decker Festival.”
