The 2025 CE Pro & Commercial Integrator IoT/Connected Product Awards, recognizing innovation and excellence in the custom residential and commercial technology integration industry, are open for submissions with new categories.
“As the Internet of Things revolution continues unabated, commercial spaces are transforming, becoming ever more interconnected and boasting device-to-device communication that was heretofore unimaginable,” Dan Ferrisi, group editor of content + editorial, industrial + tech, Emerald, observes. “AV integrators who specialize in commercial environments are certainly embracing the power and capabilities that IoT offers. A program like the Connected Product Awards ably highlights the products and technologies that will help integrators run their businesses better and complete their projects more effectively.”
The Internet of Things (IoT) encompasses a network of physical devices such as cameras, TVs, locks, automated shades, lights, home appliances, and other items embedded with software, sensors, actuators, and connectivity, enabling these things to connect and exchange data. The Connected Products Awards highlights how manufacturers are ensuring reliable and high-performing interconnected solutions for the smartest spaces.
Manufacturers are invited to submit their latest IoT and connected products for consideration. This is an excellent opportunity to showcase products that exemplify superior performance, design, and market impact. The winners will be announced at Total Tech Summit on Nov. 10-12 at the Renaissance Orlando at Sea World in Orlando, Fla.
Submit your entries now to be recognized among the industry’s best and to gain visibility for your cutting-edge solutions, and be sure to check out last year’s submissions here as well.
