Deadline Extended for RFID Journal Awards Entries

By RFID Journal

The annual awards recognize businesses and organizations that have distinguished themselves by their use of RFID or their introduction of a new product or service.

UPDATED: The deadline to enter your company in the RFID Journal Awards has been extended to Feb. 17, 2023. See below for entry information.

The annual RFID Journal Awards recognize companies that have distinguished themselves by their successful use of radio frequency identification (RFID) or Internet of Things (IoT) technologies, or by their introduction of a valuable new RFID or IoT product or service. The awards were created to highlight the best RFID implementations across multiple industries. RFID Journal's readers around the world are now invited to submit applications that provide details about their deployments, and RFID solution providers are asked to submit information for the Best New Product award.

A team of independent judges evaluates all the submissions and selects the finalists and winners. The finalists in each category are then invited to speak at our RFID Journal LIVE! conference and exhibition, so attendees can learn best practices form their groundbreaking deployments. The winners will be announced at the event, to be held on May 9–11, 2023, and each will receive a crystal award.

DEADLINE TO ENTER: Feb 17, 2023. There is no cost to submit an entry!
