Hamilton Wins Two Awards at EXHIBITORLIVE and Named to EXHIBITOR’s FindIt Top 40

Hamilton, a full-service experiential marketing agency, earned top recognition at EXHIBITORLIVE 2026 in Tampa, Florida. Their experience at EXHIBITORLIVE, Hamilton Outpost: Creative Fuel. High-Octane Ideas. Full-Service Execution., was recognized with two awards: Best of Show – Large Booth and Best of Show – Students’ Choice.

Together, the awards recognize both overall excellence on the show floor and the exhibit that resonated most with the next generation of designers. With this year’s win, Hamilton remains the only company to ever receive the Student’s Choice recognition and has earned it for the third consecutive year.

Hamilton Outpost stood out on the show floor for its distinct 2.5D design approach, which brought a retro gas-station concept to life through a hand-drawn, pen-and-paper aesthetic. What appeared flat and illustrated from a distance revealed depth and dimensionality up close, creating a visually unexpected environment that drew attendees in. Designed as a place for attendees to “refuel,” the space brought together strategy, creative, and full-service execution into one cohesive experience. The layout guided attendees through a series of intentional, interactive moments, including a custom-embroidered bandana activation, a nostalgic slushie station, and touch-screen gas pump kiosks where attendees could learn more about Hamilton’s offerings.

In addition to the two EXHIBITORLIVE awards, Hamilton was also named to EXHIBITOR Magazine’s 2026 FindIt Top 40, which highlights the world’s leading exhibit houses. The list recognizes companies that bring together strong creative thinking and operational expertise, serving as a trusted resource for organizations evaluating potential partners.
