Meet Sedona’s Seven: The Top 7 Finalists for the 2026 Sedona Innovation Award 

Step into the red rocks of Sedona for a day designed to spark bold ideas, elevate big conversations and build lasting connections.

The Sedona Innovation Summit brings together Arizona’s dynamic voices, from business and community leaders to entrepreneurs, elected officials and changemakers, for meaningful conversations around the challenges, opportunities and ideas shaping our future.

Where Bold Ideas Meet Arizona's Biggest Opportunities

This year's Summit will explore some of the biggest questions shaping Arizona's next chapter. How do we continue to grow while meeting increasing demands for water, energy and infrastructure? How are technology and new ideas changing the way we approach sustainability, business and wellness? And who is building the next generation of solutions right here in Arizona?

Throughout the day, conversations will explore:

• Keynote: Modernizing Arizona for the 21st Century – exploring how technology and modernized government services can strengthen the infrastructure businesses need to grow and compete.
• Wellness Reimagined – exploring how evolving approaches to care, personalized experiences and new ideas are reshaping what wellness looks like today.
• The Growth Equation: Innovation, Water & Energy – examining how Arizona can support continued economic growth while meeting increasing demands on water, energy and critical infrastructure.
• Powering the Future & Challenging the Status Quo – exploring emerging ideas in energy and technology, and what becomes possible when innovators challenge conventional thinking.

More Than a Conversation

The Summit is also designed to create connections. Explore the Innovation Expo, meet leaders and innovators from across Arizona, continue conversations over lunch and networking, and celebrate the presentation of the 2026 Sedona Innovation Award.

2026 Sedona Innovation Award

The Sedona Innovation Award recognizes a business, entrepreneur or community leader driving fresh ideas and positive change in Sedona.

The 2026 Sedona Innovation Award winner will be announced live on stage at the Summit, celebrating those helping drive creativity, innovation and progress in our community.
