Lüp Events Secures Global Recognition with Double Win at 16th Annual Eventex Awards

Announcement posted by Lüp Events 13 May 2026

Brisbane, Australia - Lüp Events is proud to announce it has been named a double winner in the 16th edition of the Eventex Awards, the world's most esteemed accolade for the events and experiential marketing industry.

Competing in a record-breaking year that saw 1,405 entries from 58 countries, Lüp earned two Bronze awards for its proprietary technology:

  • Bronze in Exhibition Technology: For Lüp's Facial Recognition, a biometric entry solution that debuted at high-stakes events like the International Mining and Resources Conference (IMARC) and Avalon Airshow.
  • Bronze in Attendee Management Technology: For Lüp's Onsite Badging and Registration Solution, which powered the city-wide and multi-venue complexity of SXSW Sydney.

As a representative of the Australian event tech sector, being recognised on a global stage alongside the industry's most innovative projects is a significant milestone. The entries were evaluated by an independent jury of global industry leaders, including senior creative professionals and heads of international event associations.

"The 16th edition of Eventex Awards brought a record number of entries and with them, proof that the events industry's creative ambition has no ceiling," said Ovanes Ovanessian, Co-founder of Eventex Awards. "Winning an Eventex award is no small feat, and on behalf of the entire team, I want to congratulate Lüp Events on a truly outstanding achievement."

Neeshil Pabari, Founder and Managing Director of Lüp Events, noted that the wins validate the company's focus on solving the friction vs. security dilemma.

"We've always believed that high-level security shouldn't come at the cost of a poor attendee experience. Whether it's preventing badge-swapping at a defence expo or managing 100+ venues across Sydney, our tech is built to keep things moving. To have our innovation recognised by a global jury is a testament to the hard work of our entire team."
