The NYC VIP Awards Event

Not your Grandmother’s Award Show

The VIP Awards aren't about stuffy speeches or checking a box. They're about celebrating the people, your friends, shaping retail with the heart of partnership.


We're different. We're bold, fun, and create the kind of experience you want to be part of. The night, the warmth, the reunion that everyone wants in on.
