All submissions will be automatically included in the overall Best of Enterprise Connect award. Exhibitors may also select one or more of these 4 additional categories for consideration.
- Best Innovation for Meeting Rooms
- Best Innovation in Customer Experience
- Best Application of Artificial Intelligence
- Best Innovation for Advancing Employee/End User Engagement
Each company is limited to enter a single product or service. This product may be entered for both the Overall award as well as one or more Category awards—but for each EC sponsor, only ONE product or service total may be entered.
No, not all entries will fit into one of these 4 categories, so an entry does not need to be a Category submission to be considered as a Best of Enterprise Connect Overall Finalist.
One (1) winner and up to two (2) runners-up may be named for each Category Award. Six (6) Finalists will be named for the overall Best in Enterprise Connect award, from which one (1) will be chosen as the Best in Enterprise Connect.
You are welcome to submit a new version of an existing product for the Overall Best of Enterprise Connect Award but keep in mind that the judges are looking for revolutionary products rather than evolutionary products.
The members of the BOEC Judging Committee review all entries. A preliminary round of voting is held to choose up to 6 Finalists. Finalists are required to teleconference with the judges prior to the start of Enterprise Connect to cover the specifics of their product or service. Remote product demos, slides and briefings are all appropriate for these teleconferences. Winners for the 4 Category Awards will be chosen based on the initial review and round of voting only; no briefings will be held for these Categories.
Winners will be announced online during the week of March 30, 2020.
Finalists for all "Best of Enterprise Connect Awards" will be notified on Friday, Feb. 7, 2020 by email. Winners will not be announced until the award ceremony.
Finalists and winners receive a marketing package including a public relations tool kit, electronic logos, usage rights to the logo and other marketing communications guidelines so that they can leverage the company's Best of Enterprise Connect status. Finalists will also receive a sign for their booth.
No, but you will be notified if you are a finalist. All Winners will be notified the week of March 30, 2020.
Yes. Please contact us to discuss a non-disclosure agreement. We can ensure that your submission is kept private. If your product is selected as a finalist the nondisclosure agreement will no longer be in effect since Enterprise Connect reserves the right to announce "Best of Enterprise Connect" finalists prior to the start of the show.
