- Again this year, I’m honored to be chosen to be a Judge for the NEC Best of InfoComm Awards. Having spoken, just minutes ago, with Pierre Richer, Ashley Flaska, and the other folks at NEC, in San Francisco at the CETW event, I know NEC will do a great job. I was a judge last year, and I’m pleased to hear an update today that there will be some interesting additions to the Awards plan this year– particularly concerning some fun video-based activities at the InfoComm Show, as the Judges evaluate the entries.
