As we announced a few days ago, Valencia, Spain, has been chosen as the host city for the 10th International Nightlife Congress and the 9th Golden Moon Awards gala.
The events are scheduled for November 20 at the SH Valencia Palace Hotel. Early bird registration for both events is now open. So, we recommend securing your tickets today to be part of the biggest nightlife event worldwide!
During this prestigious event, The World's 100 Best Clubs™ 2024 list will be unveiled. This international gathering will also coincide with the 5th Spanish Nightlife Congress (CNON), which will be held the previous day, on November 19, 2024.
In the International Nightlife Congress sessions, there will be different panels with renowned players in the industry to discuss to discuss current topics of interest, such as:
- Formulas to Promote Safety and Harm Reduction
- Health Protection and Sustainability in Nightlife
- Nightlife and Culture: The Rise of Nightlife as a Cultural Phenomenon
- The Value of Relationships Between DJs, Booking Managers, and Promoters
- The Future of Nightlife
Thus, the topics that will be addressed in a total of 4 roundtable discussions during the 5th Spanish Nightlife Congress on November 19th will be as follows:
- Safety as a Fundamental Pillar of Nightlife
- The Importance of Nightlife to the Visitor Economy
- Why Should a DJ Performance Be Considered Legally Live Music?
- Marketing and Branding in Nightlife: Key Aspects in the Promotion of Nightlife
On the other hand, we are excited to announce that The World's 100 Best Clubs™ 2024 list has already garnered an impressive 225,000 votes! As you may know, 420 nominated clubs from 65 countries compete for a spot on this prestigious list.
We would also like to inform you that the online public voting period has been extended until October 15. Meanwhile, the professional jury begins their deliberation on October 1, while the public continues to cast their votes until the extended deadline.
So, from October 1st to November 1st, a panel of experts will conduct a thorough evaluation, considering multiple factors to finalize the rankings. The professional jury will use a scoring system to assess each club, and their scores will be combined with the public vote to determine the overall ranking.
The evaluation criteria include the clubs' 2024 artistic programming, safety measures for clients and staff, VIP services, online reservation systems, service quality, social media presence, national and international recognitions, acoustic quality, soundproofing efforts, MRT system integration, and alignment with the UN's sustainable development goals. The expert panel's assessment will account for 50% of the final ranking.
