The program combines both Commercial Integrator’s and sister-site CE Pro’s print publications and websites to recognize the new and outstanding products and services at ISE.
“The Top New Technology (TNT) Awards, presented jointly by Commercial Integrator and CE Pro at Integrated Systems Europe (ISE), are one of the most eagerly anticipated announcements on industry watchers’ calendar,” Dan Ferrisi, group editor, commercial and security, Emerald, says. “These days, integrators are hungry for new technologies that aren’t merely dazzling and wow!-worthy but also positioned to help their businesses be profitable and deliver excellent client outcomes. The TNT Awards give integrators a crib sheet for which products and technologies they should spec and install in the coming year. It’s no wonder that vendors across the spectrum are vying to earn a prestigious TNT Award in 2024!”
