Stand Design Awards Return to ISE 2026

12/2/2025

EXHIBITOR magazine is proud to announce that it has renewed its partnership with Integrated Systems Europe. As such, the Stand Design Awards will return to ISE, the largest AV systems integration show in the world, in 2026.

Now in its ninth year, the program is managed solely by EXHIBITOR magazine, an award-winning print and online magazine featuring best practices for trade show marketing. Every ISE stand will be automatically entered into the free competition and judged on site by a group of world-renowned designers and marketers.

Stands will be organized into four size-based categories: Small (30 sqm or fewer), Medium (31 - 69 sqm), Large (70 - 249 sqm), and XL (250 sqm 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 4 February.

One winner and two runners up per category will be announced and presented with trophies at the Awards Ceremony on Thursday 5 February.

"Partnering with ISE to lead the Stand Design Awards in Barcelona is an annual highlight for our team," said Emily Olson, editor of EXHIBITOR magazine. "ISE's commitment to elevating design as a strategic component of the attendee experience is thrilling, and we look forward to recognizing the exhibitors that push creative boundaries and redefine what experiential storytelling can be."
