We’re thrilled to announce that Farnborough International Exhibition & Conference Centre has been shortlisted for the prestigious AEO Excellence Awards 2026 in the highly competitive Venue of the Year (over 20,000 sqm) category.

This recognition celebrates the very best in the UK events industry, highlighting venues, organisers and suppliers who consistently go above and beyond to deliver exceptional live experiences.

Being shortlisted is a fantastic milestone for Farnborough International and reflects the scale, ambition and impact of the events we host. With over 20,000 sqm of indoor exhibition space and more than 100,000 sqm of versatile external space, our venue continues to provide an outstanding platform for world-class exhibitions, conferences and live events of every size and format.

This achievement is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our team, as well as the trust placed in us by organisers and partners who choose Farnborough International as their home for ambitious, high-profile events.

We’re proud to be recognised alongside some of the industry’s leading venues and are excited to see the awards ceremony take place in June.

Here’s to continuing to push boundaries, deliver unforgettable experiences, and shape the future of live events.
