ESX 2021 Innovation Award winners announced

CHICAGO—The 2021 Electronic Security Expo (ESX), presented by Electronic Security Association (ESA), kicked off its ESX 2021 Virtual Experience today with excellent content, top-notch speakers and sessions, all on a virtual platform that connected attendees and created opportunities for networking.

ESX and ESA also announced the category winners in the 2021 ESX Innovation Award competition. These products and services were selected by an independent panel of judges based on a set of criteria that considered innovation, end user experience, response to market need and more.

ESX Chair George De Marco noted the Innovation Award program helps to move the industry forward in the area of new technology adoption. “We are proud to highlight next-gen products and services that create new opportunities for security professionals to deliver what end users want,” he said.

Security Systems News is excited to be the Media Sponsor again this year, and winners will be featured in an upcoming issue of SSN.

ESX’s Innovation Awards distinguish innovation and excellence in the industry. Companies that serve the electronic security and life safety industry are encouraged to enter products/services that benefit end users’ experience and those that benefit dealers, integrators or monitoring companies’ top line revenues and bottom line results. In addition, the recently introduced People’s Choice Award identifies a product that grabs the attention of the ESX attendees.
