XSAGA, from The Netherlands, remains the most awarded event agency since the trophy transitioned from a European to a global competition, with 57 points.

“What a BEA-UTIFUL news! It is not only a huge honor and immense pleasure for the XSAGA team but above all, it is an incentive for the future to keep making BEAutiful things, with BEAutiful people, for BEAutiful brands,” says Patrick Roubroeks, Founding Director of XSAGA.

In second place, climbing one position compared to last year with 55 points, is OVAL from Belgium/France/Germany/Netherlands, surpassing the Italian agency Filmmaster, which drops from second to third place with 47 points. Filmmaster shares this position with fellow Italian agency Balich Wonder Studio, making them joint third place.

To climb even higher in the top 3 most awarded agencies in Europe means a lot to our clients, our team and to me personally. As ‘BEA world’ is the only pan-European representative of our industry, with a jury of thought leaders from the most prestigious companies,  it confirms the fact that OVAL has delivered a consistent level of quality and creativity over the years, in all 4 countries where we operate.  A tradition we cherish. For real. ” says Wouter Boits, CEO of OVAL.

Breaking into the Top Five, moving up one spot, is Ninetynine (Italy) with 46 points.

Among the agencies entering directly into the ranking, the most notable are the French agencies Havas and Double 2, which debut in 23rd place ex aequo with 22 points. Another significant entry from France is Ubi Bene, ranking 13th with 30 points, while Auditoire moves up 15 places to secure the 7th position with 40 points.

The Bea World, considered by many as the Oscars of events, is an essential benchmark for understanding the evolution of the event industry in terms of creativity, production quality, technological innovation, and results achieved,” says Salvatore Sagone, President of ADC Group and organizer of the Best Event Awards World. “That’s why every year, agencies from over 35 countries across five continents take part.
