The Experiential Design Authority<\/a> presented the 2026 BOSS (Best of Show Stand) Awards during a ceremony in Las Vegas, recognizing 30 outstanding exhibits that defined the CES 2026 show floor. This year\u2019s awards celebrated the most compelling, immersive, and human-centered brand experiences, highlighting the power of experiential design to create memorable moments and resonant narratives.<\/p>\n

\u201cCES 2026 was a masterclass in how brands can translate technology into meaningful, human-centered experiences. The BOSS Awards celebrate exhibitors who don\u2019t just show products \u2014 they tell stories, spark curiosity, and create moments that stick with attendees long after they leave the show floor,\u201d said Travis Stanton, Executive Director of The Experiential Design Authority. \u201cThis year\u2019s winners set a new standard for immersive design, demonstrating that thoughtful storytelling, interactive engagement, and clear purpose can turn even the most complex innovations into experiences people understand and remember.\u201d The awards ceremony was hosted by Exhibit City News, TEDA\u2019s Official U.S. Media Partner.<\/p>\n

The top five Gold Award winners set a high bar for experiential storytelling.<\/p>\n

Waymo received first place for a captivating exhibit that featured a 600-pound autonomous vehicle that hovered overhead, immersive Watching Waymo Wall, and interactive fan experiences that brought AI mobility to life.<\/p>\n

LG Electronics earned second place with its massive 110-by-300-foot space where precision, choreography, and intuitive product demonstrations conveyed the full scope of its technological vision.<\/p>\n

Doosan finished in third, leveraging its Bobcat brand to showcase integrated robotics, AI, and sustainable infrastructure solutions, combining live demos with a cohesive, high-impact aesthetic.<\/p>\n

Brunswick Corp. was honored with fourth place for its aspirational exhibit that blended on-water immersion, interactive simulators, and large-scale video storytelling to bring marine innovation to the forefront.<\/p>\n

Panasonic rounded out the top five by demonstrating its growing portfolio of business solutions and highlighting energy management, AI-powered supply chain optimization, and green-energy technologies within a thoughtfully designed, sustainable exhibit.<\/p>\n
