“Exhibiting at NeoCon is a vital strategic move for Nardi in the USA as the commercial design industry continues to prioritize amenities in the workplace that foster well-being and a sense of community. NeoCon provides us with direct access to the architects, designers, and commercial specifiers who are actively sourcing these solutions. By showcasing our durable, design-forward outdoor collections at The Mart, we position our brand at the intersection of health, productivity, and modern design, ensuring our products are specified in the industry's most prestigious upcoming projects.”

Anna Nardi, CEO, Nardi

“NeoCon 2026 at The Mart surpassed all of our expectations. We came to make connections — and what we found was a global community of forward-thinking designers, architects, and facility leaders who were hungry to learn and eager to engage. Being part of the Illuminate show was particularly special, and winning five Best of NeoCon awards made it truly unforgettable.”

Robert Soler, Founder & Chief Scientist, BIOS Lighting

“While we are enormously proud of the many wonderful awards and recognition our products and people received this week—especially seeing Hero Rubber made with Nike Grind recognized for its design, innovation, and sustainability—our deepest gratitude is for the opportunity NeoCon provides to connect directly with the architecture and design community. These face-to-face conversations are invaluable to us; we listen, we learn, and the insights we gain from these meaningful connections are what truly inspire and enable us to better serve our clients and partners year-round."

Mike Gallman, President, Mohawk Group

“The business momentum and engagement this year were unmistakable. We saw an influx of active buyers and designers arriving with projects in hand, turning our showroom into a destination for collaborative planning rather than ‘look-and-see appointments.'"

Tim Penczar, Principal, Martin Brattrud

“I go to 40 trade shows per year, every industry you could think of. We were told you have to go to NeoCon. I didn't know what to expect from NeoCon. I normally go to a trade show with one big open area, but this was a building. I had 11 floors to experience and I only had 1 day. My only regret is that I wish I had another day here. NeoCon, more than any of the other trade shows, is worth its weight in gold because I got to see and experience so much under one roof.”

Morri Chowaiki, Head of Sales and Partnerships, The Shark Group

“Participating in the inaugural year of NeoCon Illuminate—the epicenter of workplace design—allowed us to forge meaningful connections with senior designers from leading international studios. These connections opened doors to showcase how RBW’s performance decorative sconces and pendants can make a difference. We're proud to share that Sequencer received a Best of NeoCon Award, a true testament to our dedication to design innovation and the vital role that exceptional technical lighting plays in shaping the future of workspaces.”

Charles Brill, Managing Partner, RBW

“NeoCon is a defining week for our industry, and this was a landmark year for Keilhauer. Expanding our presence at The Mart by more than 3X and launching our first collection with Yabu Pushelberg marked an exciting step forward for us. Bringing Keilhauer and Division Twelve together at The Mart allowed us to create a more complete destination for the design community and our expanded showroom gave us the opportunity to present our first collection with Yabu Pushelberg as it was intended to be experienced, while also highlighting the breadth of our existing portfolio. We're honored to have received five Best of NeoCon awards, but what made the week truly special was the energy in the showroom and the conversations taking place throughout the space. Seeing designers, dealers, media and industry partners engaging with the collection and connecting with one another reinforced exactly why NeoCon remains such an important event for our industry.”

Mike Keilhauer, CEO, Keilhauer

“Being part of the Best of NeoCon jury and on stage for the awards was an incredibly rewarding experience. You get a unique perspective on where the industry is headed, and this year there was a strong emphasis on how products support human experience. Acoustics were front and center across categories, and it was exciting to see how manufacturers are pairing that with smarter technology and more thoughtful approaches to sustainability and reuse.”

Neil Schneider, Principal and Director of Design, Interiors, HOK Chicago

“Participating in NeoCon 2026 was far more than exhibiting at one of the world’s leading design platforms—it was an opportunity to strengthen Fenabel’s position within the global community of architects, interior designers, and industry decision-makers. Being present at The Mart, an iconic destination where design trends are shaped and meaningful business relationships are built, allowed us to showcase the excellence of Portuguese craftsmanship and contemporary design to a highly influential audience. The response we received reaffirmed that today’s market increasingly values brands that successfully combine innovation, sustainability, and authenticity—principles that are deeply embedded in Fenabel’s DNA. We leave this edition with new partnerships, fresh perspectives, and a renewed confidence that Portuguese design continues to earn its place on the global stage.”

Carla Gomes, Chief Marketing Officer, Fenabel

“NeoCon has always been the heartbeat of the commercial design community, and moving onto the third floor this year with our brand-new, well-attended showroom feels like a true evolution. Being part of NeoCon isn't just about showcasing new product; it’s about building long-lasting connections and participating in a collective energy that drives our entire industry forward.”

Rob Mayer, President and Co-Owner, Mayer Fabrics

“We often talk about the future of design as if it's about spaces, furniture, or technology. At NeoCon, I was reminded it's really about people. Design has the power to connect worlds of work and play, support diverse needs, and create environments where people can thrive. If the conversations I had this week are any indication, the future looks incredibly human.”

David Shing, Digital Prophet, Cultural Strategist
