WOW Awards Asia is back for its 17th edition in 2026, returning to the Jio World Convention Centre as one of the region’s most anticipated platforms celebrating excellence in experiential marketing, MICE, weddings, and live entertainment.
The announcement follows a landmark 2025 edition that witnessed an overwhelming response from the industry, with more than 5,000 attendees gathering from across India and international markets to celebrate experiential excellence. The vibrant WOW Expo featured over 90 curated stalls showcasing services, talent and technologies driving the events ecosystem. The awards received a record-breaking 3,000+ entries, with more than 350 winners honoured across five key categories.
Building on that momentum, the 2026 edition will present 106 award categories across five key segments—Experiential Marketing Awards, Experiential Celebrations Awards, Experiential Tech Awards, Hotel & Venue Awards, and Live Quotient Awards—reflecting the diversity and evolution of the experience-led ecosystem.
Over the years, WOW Awards Asia has established itself as a convergence point for agencies, brands, event professionals, venue operators and technology innovators. The upcoming edition will continue to recognise standout work across creativity, strategy, production, design, technology integration, and audience engagement.
Beyond the awards, the event will host curated workshops, case-study presentations and expert-led discussions focused on emerging trends, innovation and the future of live and experiential industries. A jury panel of more than 100 senior industry leaders will evaluate entries based on creativity, execution and impact.
With its return in 2026, WOW Awards Asia once again brings the industry together to celebrate ideas, talent and excellence shaping the future of experiences.
