The Commercial Integrator BEST Awards took center stage at the HDBaseT Alliance booth at InfoComm 2026 in Las Vegas, Nevada, to celebrate the most innovative and impactful products, services, companies and individuals from across the commercial AV industry.
The Commercial Integrator BEST Awards is recognized as one of the industry’s most prestigious annual programs. This year’s group of winners included standout offerings that demonstrated exceptional innovation, functionality and installer benefits, while also providing competitive advantages to integration businesses. An independent panel of industry expert judges selected all the award winners.
“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 centered on what would 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.”
This year’s program continued with two newer categories that we introduced — namely, Programming Company/Service Provider of the Year and AV Person of the Year. We made these additions to underscore the growing importance of software solutions and to celebrate the individuals driving our industry forward.
