CONEXPO-CON/AGG and EXHIBITOR Magazine are proud to announce the finalists in the inaugural EXHIBITOR Magazine | CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2026 Exhibit Design Awards.
Developed to acknowledge CONEXPO-CON/AGG exhibitors and their exhibit-design efforts, the competition offers free entry to all exhibitors. Entries are judged in four size-based categories: Class 1 (399 s.f. and fewer), Class 2 (400-1,000 s.f.), Class 3 (1,001-6,000 s.f.), and Class 4 (6,001 s.f. or more).
"EXHIBITOR is delighted to manage the inaugural booth design awards at CONEXPO-CON/AGG. And the show floor did not disappoint," said Emily Olson, editor of EXHIBITOR magazine. "This is a show that understands its audience and the designs we saw projected power. Our judges will certainly find selecting just one winner in each of the four categories a challenge."
A group of highly esteemed designers and marketers will further evaluate each of the 40 finalists, considering how well each stand: delivers cohesive and effective graphics, demonstrates effective design realization/fabrication, offers clear organization/wayfinding, presents an effective lighting design, employs the allotted space, and more.
One winner per category, as well as one winner chosen by EXHIBITOR staff for the Editor's Choice Award, will be announced and presented with a trophy at the Awards Ceremony on Friday, March 6 on the Ground Breakers Stage in Room W108 in the West Hall at 1 pm.
Held every three years, CONEXPO-CON/AGG is the must-attend event for construction industry professionals. The show features the latest equipment, products, services and technologies for the construction industry, as well as industry-leading education. CONEXPO-CON/AGG is owned in partnership with NRMCA, NSSGA and AEM and managed by AEM. For more information on CONEXPO-CON/AGG, visit https://www.conexpoconagg.com.
