Welcome to The Zonies!

Since 2006 ISES Arizona has acknowledged the achievements and creativity of its membership through the �The Zonies �Awards program. The awards program was developed to acknowledge and honor Arizona industry professionals and their finest examples of creativity, planning, strategic management, resourcefulness and successful solutions throughout the year. The awards offer multiple categories that represent the different disciplines within the events industry.

Being an ISES Zonie Award recipient provides the distinct competitive advantage to present your award-winning event or program to customers, potential clients, vendors and colleagues.  The award reminds your industry peers of your team's hard work, creativity, uniqueness, accomplishments and industry expertise.

Winning a Zonie Award adds great recognition to your business too. It creates marketing opportunities, improves staff morale and attracts media attention.  The press about your company writes itself!

It is no secret that awards have glamour.  Telling current and potential clients that you have been nominated and / or won an ISES Zonie Award is another way to create your competitive edge - clients simply want to work with the best.

And as if these reasons are not enough, consider that your local Zonie Award submission may also be eligible for a national ISES Esprit Award.   The ISES Esprit Award is the mark of global distinction and the highest level of professional acknowledgement within the special events industry today. The Esprit award is designed to acknowledge the extraordinary efforts, performance, and outstanding contributions of ISES members in the special events planning industry on the national level.  Many of the categories of our Arizona Zonies are parallel to those of the Esprit awards so make it a goal to celebrate your accomplishments both locally and nationally this year.

Donâ��t miss the opportunity to raise industry awareness of your achievements. If youâ��ve entered before...keep entering. If youâ��ve never entered before...this could be YOUR year. You canâ��t stand on stage and accept the award if you donâ��t enter.  

Best of luck with your entries!
