As it is every year, the selection of ‘Best Booth’ is a difficult decision! So many booths were both visually striking and highly engaging — often serving as vibrant, bustling meeting points for large groups of registrants representing their respective countries and regions.

Among all the wonderful displays, the NOFSA booth distinguished itself through its creativity, consistency, and strong visual identity. The Award also recognizes NOFSA CEO Tereza Hough’s longstanding engagement and dedication, reflected year after year in an outstanding booth that consistently impresses and inspires.
