Introducing Our UC Awards 2022 Judges 

The UC Awards are back for the fifth year, and we are fully expecting it to be our best year ever. 

These awards are a means to publicly recognise successes from within the UC and Collaboration industry. 

The UC Awards has grown in the number of companies and individuals vying for their places in the winners’ circle. 

Last year, we had a fantastic turnout and high standard of submissions across all our categories. 

Cisco, RingCentral, and Poly are a few of the big names to scoop awards, and individual acknowledgements included Oded Gal from Zoom and Javed Khan from Cisco. 

Applications Are Open 

 Applications are now officially open for the UC Awards 2022 and the submission deadline is 17th June. Finalists will be announced on 8th July and the awards ceremony will be held on 28th July. 

The three main categories are the People’s Awards, Rising Star Awards, and Innovation Awards. Within these are further subcategories, such as UC Leader of the Year, Best Unified Communications Platform, and Best Endpoint Product. You can view the full list here. 

If you fancy your chances of making it onto the podium, then send in your application. You can also request our Media Kit as a comprehensive guide to this year’s winner’s ceremony.
