Next time you plan an awards ceremony for your staff, think about the standout moment from this year’s Oscars celebration. No, it wasn’t Lady Gaga’s last-minute performance or Rihanna’s black and silver maternity dress.

And it only happened because a savvy event coordinator had the foresight to ask Ford — whose “Indiana Jones” films gave Quan his acting start in 1984 — to present the Oscar for Best Picture. When “Everything Everywhere All at Once” won, the audience was as excited about the reunion as the stars! According to Eventique founder and CEO Liron David, that type of purposeful planning and dual prioritizing is critical to executing a memorable awards ceremony. “People forget that giving out an award at a conference or event is not just about the award — it’s also about the audience watching!
