The CESA Aon Engineering Excellence Awards 2026 returns on 20 August 2026, at Vodacom World in Midrand, set to once again spotlight the projects, people and partnerships shaping South Africa’s infrastructure future. As one of the industry’s most anticipated events, the evening promises a powerful celebration of innovation, excellence and the transformative role of engineering in driving sustainable growth.

Pre-entry submissions have now officially closed, marking an important milestone as we move into the next phase of the awards programme. The calibre of entries received reflects the strength, diversity and ingenuity of South Africa’s consulting engineering sector.

We encourage members and industry stakeholders to begin preparations to attend this flagship event by securing their tables early. The awards provide a unique platform to connect with industry leaders, clients and decision-makers, while celebrating projects that are shaping the country’s infrastructure landscape.

Organisations looking to enhance their brand and demonstrate their commitment to engineering excellence and industry development are invited to explore sponsorship opportunities. Sponsorship offers high-value visibility, strategic positioning among key stakeholders, and alignment with a platform that recognises innovation, quality and leadership in the built environment.
