ConExpo-Con/Agg is expanding its awards program for the 2026 show with the introduction of two categories: equipment and technology.
The Next Level Awards program premiered during ConExpo 2023, when Holcim’s ECOPact low-carbon concrete was selected as the Next Level Award’s Contractors’ Choice Award Winner.
The Next Level Awards celebrate companies pushing the boundaries and delivering innovative products, services and technologies that move the construction industry forward.
Nominations open Aug. 19 and close Dec. 1. ConExpo-Con/Agg 2026 will be held March 3-7 at the Las Vegas Convention Center in Las Vegas.
A panel of industry experts and leaders will select 10 finalists in each category ahead of ConExpo-Con/Agg 2026. During the show, attendees will vote for their favorite in each category with winners announced March 6.
“This expansion of the Next Level Awards exemplifies the commitment of ConExpo-Con/Agg to advance the construction industry by elevating and celebrating its groundbreaking innovations that have an enormous impact on how we build our world,” says Dana Wuesthoff, ConExpo-Con/Agg show director. “By highlighting the most inventive products, services and technologies, we not only honor the pioneers driving progress, but also inspire the entire industry to reach new heights.”
Additional award
Along with the Next Level Awards, the show is introducing the ConExpo-Con/Agg 2026 Exhibit Design Awards. This program will honor exhibitors and their outstanding booth design efforts.
All exhibits at the show will automatically be entered into the competition and placed in one of four size-based categories. Judges will select up to 10 finalists in each category. These finalists will then be judged by a group of designers and marketers on-site. Judges will also select an Editor’s Choice award winner.
