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, due to popular demand among #avtweeps and industry stakeholders, we have added two NEW categories to the Commercial Integrator BEST Awards! We are excited to introduce the following categories:

• Programming Company / Service Provider of the Year
• AV Person of the Year

The first new category reflects the increasing importance of specialized software and service providers whose companies tackle everything from control programming to software development. The second new 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 2024, 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 judges’ evaluation process for products centers on what will help integrators be more profitable and serve their clients well. And we’re delighted to add two critical new categories for 2024 — Programming Company / Service Provider of the Year and AV Person of the Year — to round out the beloved BEST Awards.”

The BEST Award winners are chosen by a panel of industry experts, integrators and the editors of Commercial Integrator.
