The Experiential Design Authority won Gold for Best Medium Island Exhibit at ExhibitorLive 2026.

The Experiential Design Authority is an international body that oversees global experiential design competitions, honoring exhibits, events, expos, and immersive experiences. Led by the originator of the Portable/Modular Awards, World Expo Awards, Find It - Top 40, Centers of Excellence, EuroShop Awards, Best of CES, and ISE Stand Design Awards competitions, the Experiential Design Authority exists to provide affordable, unbiased, wholly transparent opportunities for experiential marketers and designers to earn global accolades for their hard work. ​ The Experiential Design Authority is dedicated to honoring excellence in experiential design on a global scale. From stunning exhibits and immersive events to groundbreaking expos, we celebrate the creativity, innovation, and impact of experiential marketers and designers. ​ We proudly reject paid advertising and sponsorship dollars to ensure our competitions remain wholly impartial. Our rigorous judging process emphasizes fairness: judges remain unaware of the companies behind each submission, they are selected at random from among a pool of eligible advisory board members, and our scoring system excludes the highest and lowest scores to maintain objectivity. To further uphold transparency, we release cumulative scores to all participants. ​ The Experiential Design Authority is more than an awards body — it is a community of likeminded individuals who are passionate about experiential marketing and design, boasting impressive U.S. and international advisory boards comprised of experts in a variety of fields.
