Well, this was fun! Rob Scott and his team at UC Today did a great job putting this broadcast together, which just aired now on their website. I was one of the six judges, so I’ve been part of the process going back a few months, and now we get to enjoy the results and share the good news.

Aside from viewing the ceremony on their website, fyi, it’s also been posted to YouTube.

The awards ceremony runs 23 minutes, MC’d by Rob, where the finalists and winners are announced across 12 different categories. Plus, there are 3 “person of the year” winners, giving things a more personal feel. As judges, we get to announce the winners, and while there’s no red carpet for us to strut and preen along, we have our brief moments on camera throughout the ceremony.

So, the drama is over, and briefly, the winners are Theta Lake, EPOS, AKiXi, Talkdesk, Cisco, RingCentral, Vonage, 2600Hz, Exponential-e, and VOSS - note, there were 2 multiple winners.

For “person on the year”, kudos to Eric Yuan of Zoom, Charanya Kanaan of Talkdesk and Vlad Shmunis of RingCentral.

That should be enough of a teaser, and am sure Rob would love for you to watch the ceremony to get all the details.

Congrats to all the winners, and big thanks Rob Scott and team for putting this all together!
