After careful consideration, discussion and campaigning, our readers have made their choices and voted for their favorite venues and service providers for 2017. Some of the winners are highly respected veterans that have won in their respective categories multiple times. Others are making an appearance on this treasured list for the very first time. All win accolades from our readers for their professionalism and expertise. And now, it’s time for the big reveal ...

It’s a fair bet that every weekend throughout the year, there is a community festival going on somewhere in the Northwest. After all, this is a region known for its creativity, so it only makes sense that we would need as many outlets as possible for local artistic expression. That’s why I wanted to showcase some of these events in my annual Editor’s Picks. The five I chose—one each in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Alaska and British Columbia—are not only successful, but they are also true community events produced by small organizing teams and local volunteers.

Have you purchased your tickets to the October 19 party for the 2017 Best of Northwest Meetings + Events readers’ choice awards? You only have until October 13 to get your tix at the early bird cost of $15. After that, they are $20. You can register here.

Have you let your favorite vendor, event planner or venue know how much you appreciate them by voting for them in our annual Northwest Meetings + Events Best of Awards? No? Well, get busy—voting ends Friday, May 19!

While we have included many of our old favorites, like best convention/conference venue and best event décor provider, this year we have some brand new categories as well, including Best Meeting and Event Planning Company and Best Winery/Brewery/Distillery with Event Space.

Voting for the 7th Annual Northwest Meetings + Events Best of Awards is now live! It’s time to let your favorite vendors know just how much you appreciate them.

This year, voting is limited to one ballot per email address and voters must vote in at least 10 categories. The ballot has been prepopulated with past winners and nominees, as well as regional favorites, but feel free to write in your own! The ballot will be updated as new names are added. Voting ends May 19.

Here are a few categories you can vote for:
