Idea Fair Deadline Extended to January 19
Did you and your team come up with an idea this year that is too good not to share with your peers? If so, enter the Idea Fair! The competition and showcase of ideas will be held at the 2026 World Conference & Club Business Expo, February 17-21, in Anaheim, CA. Since the sharing of knowledge has always been the hallmark of CMAA, the Idea Fair is a great avenue for club managers to exchange ideas. The deadline has been extended to January 19, so make sure you get your entries in!
Entering the competition is easy—you simply submit your entries online and CMAA will print the board(s) for you! You do not need to attend Conference to enter or win. One Association Activity Credit is awarded per entry (maximum 10 entries per member) and two Association Activity Credits will be awarded to the winner in each of the 16 categories.
In addition to category winners, and [NEW!] honorable mention selections, the judging committee will also recognize four overall award winners:
- Most Innovative Idea—For the entry with the freshest, most creative solution
- Show Stopper Idea—For the idea with the biggest wow factor
- Chair’s Award—For an outstanding entry that exemplifies industry impact and vision
- [NEW!] Ripple Award—For the most transferable idea in the competition
We look forward to seeing your ideas in Anaheim!
