Good news. You’ve been given a little more time.
The deadline to apply for the AIPC Innovation Award 2026 has been extended to April 6th COB.
Time is running out.
Across our industry, innovation is not always about big announcements or new infrastructure. It often starts internally with teams who challenge the way things are done, improve processes, and rethink how value is delivered.
This Award is designed to recognise exactly that.
From operational excellence and digital transformation to sustainability and customer experience, we are looking for real, practical innovations developed by convention centres – initiatives that make a measurable difference.
Finalists will have the opportunity to present their projects live at the AIPC Annual Conference in Bilbao, during the Innovation from Inside session in front of peers and industry leaders.
Two awards will be presented:
- Jury Award, selected by an independent panel of experts
- Delegate’s Choice Award, voted live by the AIPC community
Beyond recognition, this is your chance to:
- Showcase your work on an international stage
- Gain peer validation
- Inspire the global convention centre community
Last year’s finalists set the bar high: from AI-driven solutions to impactful sustainability programmes. This year, it could be you.
If your team has done something worth sharing, now is the moment.
Applications close on 31 March 2026.
Don’t miss it.
