Meetings Today 2026 Trendsetters of Tomorrow

As Meetings Today continues to spotlight the innovators shaping the meetings and events industry today, we’re proud to introduce a new distinction that looks toward the future: Trendsetters of Tomorrow.

This new award category is dedicated to the next generation of meetings and events leaders and will recognize 10 standout young professionals under the age of 30 who are not just rising through the ranks but actively redefining them. 

These individuals embody curiosity, adaptability and forward-thinking leadership, bringing fresh perspectives on everything from event design and technology to workplace culture and attendee engagement.

The inaugural Trendsetters of Tomorrow class will be announced in the September issue of Meetings Today in the next-gen-focused column, The Z.
