About the Event:
This year, the Awards Celebration will feature an appetizer-only reception instead of the sit-down dinner of previous years. Come after work, enjoy the networking, celebrate your awards, and expect to have more time free in the evening after the ceremony.

The Awards Celebration will begin with the networking reception with appetizers and a cash bar. The Best of Category and Best of Division winning pieces on display so you can pick your favorite to vote for People’s Choice.

The awards ceremony will immediately follow the reception with the presentation of the Excellence in Leadership Awards and the Graphics Excellence Awards. We’re also looking forward to celebrating GLGA’s 140th anniversary this year!

Our professional photographer will take presentation photos, which will be posted in our online photo albums for viewing and downloading. The photographer also is available to take additional delegation photos as you request, too.

Schedule:
4:30 p.m. – Check-in table opens.
5 – 6 p.m. – Networking reception. Appetizers and a cash bar. Display of Winners open for People’s Choice voting.
6:00 p.m. – Awards ceremony.
