2026 EXCELLENCE IN PRODUCT INNOVATION AWARDS

Nominations are now being accepted for the esteemed Excellence in Product Innovation (EPI) Awards!

Overview

For years, NSCA has partnered with Commercial Integrator and Security Sales & Integration to present the Excellence in Product Innovation Awards. Together, we seek to recognize suppliers whose products help integrators run better, more successful, more profitable businesses.

Given the ever-changing nature of the AV and electronic security integration industry, we fully updated the Excellence in Product Innovation (EPI) Awards last year, introducing an entirely new slate of categories. The new categories reflect key growth areas for AV and security integration businesses today.


Divisions

The following are our new divisions. Each of these divisions contains between three and six distinct categories:

  • AI & Intelligent Automation
  • Recurring Revenue & Service Enablement
  • Installation & Integration Excellence
  • Cybersecurity & Risk Mitigation
  • Platform Power & Ecosystem Integration
  • Next-Gen Innovation


Take this opportunity to ensure that your product or solution grabs integrator attention by earning an Excellence in Product Innovation Award! We’ll announce our winners live at the NSCA XBO Experience this coming November, offering invaluable publicity for your company and its solutions.

The independent judging panel will consist of an editor from Commercial Integrator, an NSCA staff member and several integrator members from NSCA's Emerging Technologies Committee. Plus, we’ll provide judging feedback on your product, upon request.

Entries are being accepted through August 14. But don’t wait! Seize this opportunity to earn the best publicity a solutions provider can receive: affirmation of your product’s excellence from the integrator community itself!
