Clio Entertainment, the original and definitive international awards program celebrating creativity in marketing the entertainment business, today announced the renowned leaders that will comprise its first-ever Live Entertainment jury.

"There's nothing I love more than a night at the theater or symphony, so I'm particularly excited for the new dynamic that the Live Entertainment awards will bring to our show," said Nicole Purcell, President, Clio.
