Pinnacle Live Inaugural 2025 Max Awards Honors Outstanding Contributions
We celebrated excellence within our ranks last night at the inaugural 2025 Max Awards. This prestigious event recognizes our top venue directors, sales directors, and other outstanding team members across diverse roles within the company.
Regional winners from across North America were invited to the Max Awards held at Gila River Resorts & Casinos - Wild Horse Pass in Arizona. Attendees enjoyed an opening night reception, setting the tone for the festivities to come. The following day, guests had the opportunity to take a scenic hike up to Pinnacle Peak, immersing themselves in the natural beauty of the area.
The beautiful Showroom at Wild Horse Pass set the stage as the national winners in each category were revealed during an elegant evening celebration.
The Max Awards represents Pinnacle Live's dedication to elevating not just the live event experience, but the experience of planning and executing those events as well. We strive to make the process seamless for our clients and partners through innovative solutions and best-in-class service from our passionate team members.
