The awards are an important part of the Self-Service Innovation Summit, which runs from Dec. 14-16 at The Diplomat Beach Resort in Hollywood, Florida.
Businesses and individuals that use self-service technology have an opportunity to nominate innovations they consider to be game changers for the annual Self-Service Innovation Awards, to be presented at the third annual Self-Service Innovation Summit, Dec. 14-16 in Hollywood, Florida.
Readers of Kiosk Marketplace, Vending Times and other Networld Media Group websites are invited to honor the most innovative solutions.
Nominations will be accepted in the following categories:
- Innovation of the Year, B2B.
- Innovation of the Year, B2C.
- Accessibility Award.
- Best COVID-19 Solution.
- Reader’s Choice Award: Innovator of the Year.
The Accessibility Award is a new award in 2022. This award recognizes solutions that have made a product or service more accessible to people living with disabilities.
The Reader’s Choice Award: Innovator of the Year combines two awards from the prior two years. This award recognizes the person or company that consistently demonstrates leadership in self service. Winners in this category will be selected via a reader poll on KioskMarketplace.com and VendingTimes.com. In prior years, there were separate awards for individual innovator and company innovator. This year, there is one award for both companies and individuals.
Nominations will be accepted through Oct. 7, 2022.
To qualify for an award, innovations/solutions must have been introduced on or after Oct. 7, 2022.
The Self-Service Innovation Awards will be presented during the Self-Service & Innovation Summit on Wednesday Dec. 15, 2022. The awards are an important part of the Summit, which runs from Dec. 14-16 at The Diplomat Beach Resort in Hollywood, Florida, an educational forum designed to improve the self-service industry’s professionalism and to educate technology users.
The awards will be presented at 5 p.m. following the conclusion of a full day of educational seminars, followed by a networking reception.
