A Night to Remember

The EVAS feel different. From the first name announced to the last photo taken, the room lifts every woman.

Family, friends, colleagues, allies, and sometimes complete strangers, all cheer and applaud with genuine joy. You can feel it in the air.

Every finalist gets her own moment in the spotlight. Her name appears on the big screen, the hosts pause, the applause swells, cameras flash, and for that instant, the world stands still. It’s a memory she’ll keep forever.

The Magic You Can’t Script

Some moments you can’t plan, but you can make space for them.

Like the time all the guests burst into “Happy Birthday” for Lois Kirtlan’s nine-year-old daughter as she joined her mum on stage, pure joy, a night she’ll never forget.

We listen out for special occasions and make sure they’re marked. It’s not just us either, our accommodation partners join in, adding thoughtful touches so every guest feels seen from check-in to the last dance.

After the Applause

The magic doesn’t fade when the lights go down.

The morning after, feeds fill with posts about courage, inclusion and belonging. Comments talk about the hugs, the cheer squads, the kindness of strangers. DMs turn into collaborations, introductions and friendships.

Even without a trophy, every finalist leaves with something bigger; confidence, connection and community.

And the memories turn into momentum. Photos and reels are easy to find and share, and our follow-ups connect finalists with mentors, buyers and media so the emotion becomes opportunity.

Because at EVAS, celebration is just the beginning.
