IoT World Announces the First Annual IoT World Awards
Who doesn’t love a good awards show? The elaborate gowns, the red carpet theatrics, Jennifer Lawrence falling down yet again.
While the IoT World Awards won’t have quite the star power as the Oscars, for those individuals and companies changing the world with IoT, being recognized is an enormous honor.
IoT World, the leading global IoT conference and exhibition, will highlight the successes and outstanding contributions of the best in IoT with its inaugural IoT World Awards on May 15.
The awards will honor companies and individuals who have demonstrated outstanding achievement in 12 award categories (full descriptions are below). But here’s the catch – if you don’t enter, you won’t win. Take it from Wayne Gretzky, “You miss 100 percent of the shots you don’t take!”
Entries are due no later than midnight on March 1 and the shortlist will be announced by April 12. Winners will be announced at the IoT World Awards and Gala Dinner on May 15, during IoT World 2019.
It’s free to enter, just submit your awards entry (or nominate someone else) for a chance to win and be recognized as a member of the industry elite at IoT World 2019 and across digital channels year-round!
