The 2026 Commercial Integrator
BEST Awards
The Commercial Integrator BEST Awards represent the commercial AV industry’s highest and most sought-after honor. The BEST Awards recognize outstanding new products, solutions and services that can enhance commercial integrators’ businesses, including by making them more profitable and sustainable.
The criteria to win a BEST Award include demonstrating exceptional innovation, product functionality and integrator benefits. Our independent panel of industry expert judges carefully considers each entry across all those metrics.
In addition to all the product and technical categories, we also have categories that honor organizations as a whole. Those include the following:
- Programming Company / Service Provider of the Year
- Case Study
- AV Person of the Year
AV Person of the Year can either be a legendary industry figure or a young up-and-comer whose contributions have enriched the pro AV industry as a whole.
Commercial Integrator BEST Award winners will be announced during InfoComm 2026, spotlighted on CommercialIntegrator.com and featured in an upcoming issue of CI+SSI.
“The reason that Commercial Integrator exists is to help integrators run their businesses better,” Dan Ferrisi, group director of content + editorial, industrial + tech, Emerald, says. "Our BEST Awards judges’ evaluation process for products centers on what will help integrators be more profitable and serve their clients well. And that’s why there’s no higher honor in our industry than a BEST Award.”
Ferrisi continues, “There’s simply no better way for manufacturers and distributors to attract attention and gain a competitive advantage at InfoComm than to receive a CI BEST Award live on the show floor. I can’t wait to hand them out personally!”
