Exhibitors at RFID Journal LIVE! 2022 are invited to submit entries for the Best New Product category, which will be awarded to the RFID technology hardware, software or service provider chosen by a team of independent judges as the best new product or service at the event. To qualify, the product or service must have been introduced after the last RFID Journal LIVE! conference concluded on Sept. 28, 2021.
In addition, RFID Journal will give a Special Achievement Award to a person or organization that has contributed significantly to the RFID industry. This award can be given to an end user, a researcher, a vendor, an inventor, a standards developer or anyone else who has contributed to the advancement of the entire RFID industry.
The RFID Journal Awards were created to highlight the best radio frequency identification and Internet of Things implementations in key industries in which such technologies are driving efficiencies and improving operations. The judges evaluate every submission and select the finalists in each category, who are then invited to speak at LIVE! so attendees can learn best practices form their groundbreaking deployments. The winners will be announced at the event, and each will receive a crystal award. More information about the awards is available here.
