The Conference will take place across two days and two tracks of programming, where the owner/developer and consultant teams for each Finalist project will present to an international audience and the live juries for consideration of winning titles across eight Award categories. The honor of overall Best Tall Building “Worldwide” is also judged based on these Finalist presentations. All winners will be awarded at the Awards Ceremony & Dinner at the end of Day 2.
 
The CTBUH Annual Awards program recognizes projects and individuals that have made extraordinary contributions to the advancement of tall buildings and the urban environment, and that achieve sustainability at the highest and broadest level. The objective is to deliver a comprehensive and sophisticated view of these important buildings, spaces, and technologies, while advocating for improvements in every aspect of their performance, especially those that have the greatest effect on the people who use them each day. This means that the buildings highlighted are often not the tallest in a given year, but represent the best qualities and innovations in the typology.
