EXHIBITOR to Partner with CONEXPO-CON/AGG on Exhibit Design Competition
12/17/2025
EXHIBITOR magazine is proud to announce that it has established a partnership with CONEXPO-CON/AGG, the largest construction show in North America, to launch and manage the EXHIBITOR Magazine | CONEXPO-CON/AGG Exhibit Design Awards.
Free to exhibitors, the program will honor outstanding booth-design efforts at the 2026 show. Managed solely by EXHIBITOR magazine, an award-winning print and online magazine featuring best practices for trade show marketing, the program will be free to all exhibitors. Every stand will be organized into one of four size-based categories and judged on site by a group of world-renowned designers and marketers.
The 2026 categories are: Class 1 (399 s.f. and fewer), Class 2 (400-799 s.f.), Class 3 (800-1,999 s.f.), and Class 4 (2,000 s.f. or more). Up to 10 finalists in each category will be selected, notified on the show floor, and presented with a plaque on or before Wednesday, March 4. 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 Thursday, March 5.
"My team is delighted to lead the inaugural Exhibit Design Awards for CONEXPO-CON/AGG in March," said Emily Olson, editor of EXHIBITOR magazine. "This partnership proves the organizations' shared commitment to impactful design as a way to improve both the attendee and exhibitor experience. We look forward to spotlighting the exhibitors that push creative boundaries on the CONEXPO-CON/AGG show floor."
