Meet the winners of M&C Asia Stella Awards 2026

Asia’s best in MICE were honoured at the M&C Asia Stella Awards 2026, which took place at the Hyatt Regency Kuala Lumpur at KL Midtown on 18 August.

The award organised by M&C Asia celebrates MICE industry excellence across six categories, from destinations to convention centres and meetings hotels. Every winner is put forward by industry professionals, making each win a meaningful mark of peer recognition. It is this industry-led process that has made the awards a closely watched annual benchmark of who is setting the pace in MICE.

Commenting on this year’s awards, Irene Chua, VP/group publisher, Asia, for Northstar Travel Group, which owns M&C Asia, said: “What struck me most is how many of this year's winners are hearing their name called for the very first time, a reflection of just how many strong organisations are now competing at this level.

“To the winners who have been here before and won again, that consistency is truly your achievement. To every winner, thank you for the contribution you continue to make to our MICE industry,” Chua said.

The award continues to recognise and celebrate industry excellence, with the aim to foster growth, innovation and best practices that will contribute to the development and progress of the MICE ecosystem across Asia Pacific.
