Innovation Zone Exhibits
The Innovation Zone will feature exhibits from the industry’s most cutting-edge companies.
Each innovation zone exhibit will be visited by a panel of judges, who consist of retailers and advisory board members Based on a scoring sheet, the judges will compile their results and select the most innovative product/company from each of the 3 categories (1 winner per category).
Winners will be announced later that evening at the awards dinner. Each winner will be given the opportunity to go on stage and give a short acceptance speech. Each winner will also receive a free branding opportunity at SleepNXT 2027.
Swing Into SleepNXT
Level up your game at Aileron Golf Club. French for “little wing,” Aileron takes its name from the trailing edges of an aircraft wing, which help stabilize and steer during flight — and just as ailerons guide a plane, this world-class course will guide your golf game to new heights. Home to lush greens, year-round sun, and distinctive course design, this golf experience is the perfect way to kick off your SleepNXT event experience with attendees for optimal networking and fun.
