2025 Centers of Excellence
Honoring the world's top convention centers for trade shows and events.

All convention centers world-wide were eligible to apply for EXHIBITOR Magazine's 2025 Centers of Excellence competition. Applicants were evaluated using a variety of criteria in five primary categories: Facility & Functionality, Location & Accommodations, Service & Execution, Expansions & Upgrades, and Honors & Awards. The evaluation also included a survey of event planners, show organizers, and exhibit managers who have recently hosted (or exhibited at) trade shows and events within each facility, as well as a review of entrants' event spaces, primary selling points, nearby attractions, and innovations, conducted by a panel of corporate exhibit managers. The 25 highest-scoring entries have earned the distinction of being named among EXHIBITOR Magazine's Centers of Excellence.
