NeoCon is June 8-10, 2026 at The Mart in Chicago. The Best of NeoCon offers more than 40 product categories. Entrants are presented by category,  manufacturer name, product name, and The Mart showroom number or 7th floor booth space. 

The Best of NeoCon has about 45 jurors who work in teams reviewing and evaluating the products digitally before they arrive at the NeoCon showrooms to receive presentations by the product manufacturers. Jurors vote to determine if there is a Gold Award or Silver Award in each category and consider a selection of products for Innovation Awards and Sustainability Awards. There is one Best of Competition determined by all the jurors. Business Impact Awards' finalists are determined by June 5th and visited by the business media and facility managers' jury on June 7th.
