INNOVATION TAKES CENTRE STAGE

CONEXPO-CON/AGG RETURNS IN 2026 WITH EXPANDED AWARDS PROGRAMS, SPOTLIGHTING THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY'S MOST GROUNDBREAKING INNOVATIONS.

- 

CONEXPO-CON/AGG, the leading construction trade show in North America, has announced the return of its Next Level Awards program for 2026, with the expansion of two categories: equipment and technology.

The awards, initially launched at CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2023 with Holcim's ECOPact Low-Carbon Concrete winning the Contractors' Choice Award, recognises companies that push boundaries and develop next-level products within the construction sector.

Nominations open August 19 and close on December 1. Ahead of CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2026, an expert panel of industry professionals will select 10 entries per category.

Event attendees will have the chance to vote for their favourite finalists, with the winners to be announced on the Groundbreakers keynote stage on 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," CONEXPO-CON/AGG show director Dana Wuesthoff said.

"By highlighting the most inventive products, services, and technologies, we not only honour the pioneers driving progress but also inspire the entire industry to reach new heights."
