The award ceremonies were hosted by Gitikka Ganju Dhar on Day 1 & Day 2 respectively and saw a total of 70 Categories across 5 groups -Business/MICE Events, Experiential Marketing, Event Intellectual Properties, Experiential Celebrations and Experiential Management.

The 70 categories of WOW Awards Asia 2017 encompass every aspect of the experiential business. WOW Awards Asia is not only one of the biggest recognition platforms in the world in terms of sheer size of participation and level of competition, it is also truly the most holistic
