Frequently Asked Questions

​When and where is this event?
​The BOLLE venue is one of the most impressive locations in Berlin. The street address of BOLLE: Alt-Moabit 98, Berlin.

The landmarked brick building from the 1890s industrial era was formerly the Carl Bolle dairy factory.  The building’s history as a dairy is evident from the massive chandeliers made from sandblasted BOLLE milk bottles. The Festsaal is framed by five-metre high industrial windows with natural light. Cast-iron pillars, an original, preserved wooden roof and dark grey floor tiles made from local cinders are original souvenirs of the period and give this diverse space its extraordinary atmosphere.

The adjoining Hotel ABION Spreebogen and ABION Villa offer 4-star accomodation options, right by the river Spree.

  • Metaverse StartUps and ScaleUps keen to meet more investors
  • Metaverse companies expanding globally

  • Large corporates keen to partner with younger companies in this space.
  • VC investors focused on the potential of metaverse companies in Europe
​What happens if I buy a ticket and I don't show up at the Gala?
​Well, we'll certainly miss you.  Refunds are cheerfully provided up to 30 days before the date of the event. After that time, however, we regret that no further refunds are possible.
​What happens at the awards gala?
​The greatest priority at the awards gala is the opportunity to talk with the jurists, panelists and other attendees. This is a peer-to-peer networking opportunity like no other.
​Why should my company submit a nomination?
​We have found that the most savvy companies understand the public relations value and media attention from being distinguished at the very top of one's field.  Winners use their nominations and awards to build esprit de corps and a sense of community, both internally and among clients and suppliers.

Winners do not take all.  Each nomination that moves past the jury's first vote (to the short list) is also promoted via our media and our associated partners -- both before the award event and for several months after. 
​Does it cost anything to submit a nomination?
​No.  Nominations are free of charge.  Furthermore, nominations and award winners are independent of any sponsorship or partnership.  We detest "paid for" awards events.  Our event is fully independent and transparent. Even the jury will not know who won awards until the envelopes are opened on stage on 19 October 2023.
​What are the rules regarding nominations?
​Anyone can nominate anyone and there is limit of 3 submitted nominations per company. We have learned that the winning nominations are usually submitted by the candidate company itself (not their PR company), because they know best their organization. Nominations must be submitted online (see Link on the website) before the deadline.
​Who is on the Jury?  And why such a composition?
​We like a large jury, and in 2023 we'll have 25 jurists.  These men and women represent investors, key influencers in the metaverse ecosystem, and companies that are expanding rapidly in the metaverse.
​Can I sponsor the event?
​Yes.  You will find a number of value-added sponsorships that can help you to fulfill your B2B marketing objectives. Please contact Thom Barnhardt at thom(at)EuropeanMetaverseAwards.com, or +48-508-143-963.
​What kind of media support does this event have?
​We have media support in the United States, UK, Germany, France, Scandinavia, Austria, Switzerland, Japan, and Australia.
​Who is the organizer?
​We are an American-owned independent media group (CEE Business Media Inc. and CEE Business Media Europe OU) with deep experience in Europe and Central Eastern Europe over the last 20 years, and we are primarily "connectors".

​We do that by organizing Awards events (we have organized nearly 35 Awards events in the last 11 years!; in Europe, New York, Tokyo and Texas); and online Matchmaking events, and publishing directories, newsletters and websites. Our b2b focus topics include Shared Services/BPO, Digital Services, and Metaverse/Web3.0. We also organize 4 other Awards events per year (in Europe and the United States).
Our next Metaverse event is 30 March in Miami: American Metaverse Summit & Awards.

The company was founded by Thom Barnhardt, originally from the US, but resident in Europe the last 25 years. He has a serial entrepreneur and has created many media brands over the years, including travel magazines, Business Directories, websites and newsletters, and many conferences and Awards events.  CEE Business Media Inc. is 100% owned by Thom Barnhardt.
