2025 Best & Brightest Awards Gala: A Night of Glitz, Glam and Greatness

SMPS Boston rolled out the red carpet for a night of spotlights, sequins and standing ovations at this year’s Best & Brightest Awards Gala, held June 12 at Boston City Winery. With 130 of Boston’s top AEC marketers and business developers in attendance, it marked the chapter’s highest in-person turnout since before the pandemic.

True to its theme of “Lights, Camera, Celebration!” the evening brought together vintage Hollywood elegance with a modern sparkle. This annual gala is more than just a chance to dress up, sip on the signature cocktail, and laugh along with the comedian emcee; it’s a time-honored tradition celebrating excellence in marketing, communications, and business development across Boston’s dedicated AEC community.

The 2025 gala was powered by the energy of the special events team, led by Lauren Hickey of Finegold Alexander Architects, Emily Jenkins of Bala Engineering, Tully Mahoney of Page, Kelly Cohane of South Coast Improvement Company, Melissa Shaffer of GEI Consultants, Julia Hoggins of Geocomp, Sarah Ryan-Theroux of Flansburgh Architects, Rachel Herbst of CDM Smith, Ksenia Pryme of Tighe & Bond, and Kristie Norris, CPSM.
