The Top New Technology (TNT) Award winners highlight some of the newest and most outstanding products and services being introduced at ISE, with the 2026 entry being no different. As the event is co-owned by CEDIA and AVIXA, bringing together leading commercial and residential exhibitors, so too do the annual TNT awards recognize both residential and commercial innovation by bringing together both CE Pro and its sister publication Commercial Integrator.
What Industry Leaders Are Saying about the Awards
“The Top New Technology (TNT) Awards are among the highest honors that manufacturers and distributors in the pro AV channel can receive,” Dan Ferrisi, Group Director of Content, Editorial, Industrial and Technology at Emerald, says.
“We cover an industry characterized by technology innovation and pushing the boundaries. But our TNT Award winners stand out from the crowd with their product design, functional features and integrator-friendly approach.”
“It’s my pleasure to announce the 2026 TNT Awards winners and the manufacturers, and distributors that drive innovation in the custom integration industry,” says Zachary Comeau, Executive Editor of CE Pro.
“These vendors and their products are what make this industry cutting edge, unique, and transformative. In an industry marked by incredible technology and pushing the envelope, these products stand above the rest.”
