Best Regional Stand
In what was an extremely close contest, this year's winning region utilised natural materials, sweeping curves and earthy tones to seamlessly align with the region's brand and activation, which offered buyers the opportunity to shape and finish their very own pounamu necklaces.
Best New Exhibitor
This year's winner made a big impact with their stand which showcased the full array of elegant meet and greet entertainment as well as their roaming performance options that brought the glitz and glamour to this year's MEETINGS.
Best Individual Stand
This year's winner has really been the showstopper of MEETINGS 2026. With a level of detail that is difficult to comprehend and taking three full days to build, the work and craftmanship involved is magnificent.
