The 2025 Commercial Integrator BEST Awards
Honoring Superior Products and Services
The Commercial Integrator BEST Awards are one of the commercial AV industry’s highest and most sought-after honors. The BEST Awards recognize outstanding new products, solutions and services that can enhance commercial integrators’ businesses, including making them more profitable and sustainable. Criteria for winning products include innovation, functionality, competitive advantages and installer benefits.
What’s more, this year, we are continuing with the two NEW categories we created last year, aligning with popular demand among the #avtweeps community.
- Programming Company / Service Provider of the Year
- AV Person of the Year
The first category reflects the increasing importance of specialized software and service providers whose companies tackle everything from control programming to software development. The second category seeks to celebrate the remarkable individuals who are the lifeblood of our industry community. The AV Person of the Year can either be a legendary figure or a young up-and-comer who is making a big mark on commercial AV.
Commercial Integrator BEST Award winners will be announced during InfoComm 2025, spotlighted on CommercialIntegrator.com , and featured in the August issue of CI+SSI.
“The reason that Commercial Integrator exists is to help integrators run their businesses better,” Dan Ferrisi, group editor, commercial and security, Emerald, says. "Our BEST Awards judges’ evaluation process for products centers on what will help integrators be more profitable and serve their clients well.”
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!”
The BEST Award winners are chosen by a panel of industry experts, integrators and the editors of Commercial Integrator.
