Winner showcases 2026: Diamond and Gold winners present their entries
Date to be announced
About this session
The spine of the 2026-27 series. After the results are declared on November 27, 2026, each Diamond and Gold winner takes one session: twenty-five minutes on the work exactly as the jury saw it, the baseline, the approach, the numbers and what went wrong on the way, followed by fifteen minutes of questions from the audience.
A partner organization moderates each showcase in its own field, so the questions come from someone who has done similar work. Winners choose what stays confidential; everything shown on screen is drawn from the entry the jury scored.
Showcases run about every two weeks from December through the 2026-27 season, and each one becomes a case study draft for the site the same week.
What you take away
- How a rated entry is built, from baseline to evidence
- The decisions behind the result, including the ones that failed
- What the jury weighed most in that category
- Questions answered by the people who did the work
Who it is for
Entrants planning a 2027 entry, plant and operations heads, CI leaders, and anyone judging their own program against a rated one.
