The Executive Edge: Expanding Our Partnership with the Admin Awards in 2026

This season’s Admin Awards Gala in Dallas reminded us of what makes this community so extraordinary. As a Premier Partner, we were proud to present the Years of Service Award and stand alongside so many inspiring administrative professionals.

Behind every great meeting, event, and executive trip are administrative professionals – the unseen orchestrators ensuring that everything runs on time and without friction. Our team knows as well as anyone that they are the heartbeat of every successful journey. The Gala was a chance to honor those who make organizational excellence look effortless.

For more than 25 years, Urbanride has partnered with executive assistants and administrative teams around the world. We’ve seen firsthand the precision, foresight, and care that define this profession, and how much of our own service depends on their expertise. A shared set of values – loyalty, dedication, and excellence – make being part of the Admin Awards community feel like a true alignment of purpose.

We’re excited to share that in 2026, Urbanride will expand its Premier Partnership with the Admin Awards from one city to three: Dallas, Houston, and San Francisco. We’ll kick off the new year in Houston starting in January.

Urbanride is an international brand, managing over 50,000 trips each year across more than 1,000 cities in over 50 countries. Trusted by executive assistants and corporate travel planners around the world, it’s only natural for our partnership with the Admin Awards to grow across the United States. This growing partnership reflects how Urbanride already operates: connected globally, while remaining dedicated locally.

Over the coming months, we’ll be reconnecting with familiar faces in Dallas and meeting new ones in Houston and San Francisco – joining local networking and informational sessions, supporting preliminary nominations, and shining a light on administrative excellence at every stage of the season. We hope to deepen relationships and celebrate a broader community of professionals whose commitment and care inspire everyone around them.

To the administrative professionals who make it all happen: thank you. You keep organizations moving, leaders focused, and businesses thriving. Urbanride is honored to serve you – and excited to celebrate you – in 2026 and beyond.

If you’re part of the Admin Awards community, or part of an organization that values its administrative professionals, please feel free to reach out. We’d love to connect with you.
