Barcelona is preparing to become the world epicenter of nightlife with the celebration of the 9th International Nightlife Congress and the awaited 8th Golden Moon Awards gala.
These events, which will take place on November 27 this year, will bring together experts, professionals and nightlife enthusiasts to discuss nightlife models, the latest trends and the future of the industry.
The International Nightlife Congress, organized by the International Nightlife Association, will provide a space to analyze the challenges and opportunities currently facing the sector.
Participants will be able to share experiences, knowledge and best practices, as well as explore new ways to improve the quality nightlife offer.
Activities at the International Nightlife Congress
One of the most anticipated activities of the event will be the presentation of The World’s 100 Best Clubs 2023 list, which will highlight the best clubs and nightclubs in the world.
Last year, Spain, led by Ibiza, was the most represented country on the list, followed by the United States and the United Kingdom.
Barcelona stood out as the second place with the best quality nightlife offer at the state level, with six venues in the Top 100.
To make up the list of the best clubs, the International Nightlife Association has opened the nomination period, allowing anyone to nominate their favorite nightlife venue.
Afterwards, the popular voting period will be opened, where the public will be able to vote for their favorite club. This popular vote will represent 50% of the final vote, while the remaining 50% will be determined by a professional jury composed of industry experts.
The Golden Moon Awards gala, to be held in conjunction with the congress, will be the highlight where the list of the world’s best clubs and discotheques will be revealed.
During the gala, excellence in the nightlife industry will be recognized and awards will be given to venues that have excelled in different aspects, such as artistic programming, security measures, VIP services, quality of service, activity in social networks, among others.
Nightlife in Barcelona
In addition to being a celebration of the nightlife industry, these events will also highlight the importance of nightlife as an integral part of culture and tourism in Barcelona.
However, it is also important to take into account the challenges facing the industry, such as the recent incidents that have led to the urgent need to strengthen security in the city’s nightlife.
Barcelona, known for its vibrant nightlife, has the opportunity to continue to stand out as a benchmark leisure destination.
