Moving ENR’s Award of Excellence celebration to an online platform this year allowed us to reimagine what was possible in this format. Though we were of course disappointed that we couldn’t see everyone in person at our New York City gala as ENR has for the past 54 years, going virtual did have its advantages.
In place of our in-person Top 25 Newsmakers luncheon, we decided to forgo the traditional acceptance speeches and allow attendees to absorb some of the insight and expertise that led us to recognize these individuals in the first place.
