First Annual VOICE Summit Awards Set to Honor Emerging Voice Tech Community

The 2019 VOICE Summit Awards Dinner will recognize finalists for twelve new categories of voice experience awards, and will feature challenge winners from special global competitions put forward by Amazon, Microsoft and Samsung.

VOICE Summit 2019 organizers today announced that the 2019 VOICE Summit Awards Dinner will honor innovators in the emerging voice tech community as well as winners of competitions from Amazon, Microsoft and Samsung, and will be held on July 24, 2019 at The New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT).

“We are excited to bring attention to the outstanding technology, innovation and leadership within the voice-first community,” said Conference Chairman, Pete Erickson. “The VOICE Summit Awards set a high standard that will drive the industry forward while nurturing emerging industry leadership.”

Those recognized at the inaugural VOICE Summit awards will be individuals whose contributions to the emerging voice tech community have advanced overall adoption and been pioneers of innovative experiences. An independent committee of event leaders and sponsors will identify finalists from the following twelve categories:

  • Best Conversational Design
  • Best Multi-Modal Experience
  • Best Game
  • Best Shopping/E-commerce Experience
  • Best Educational Experience
  • Best Healthcare Experience
  • Best Travel
  • Leisure or Hospitality Experience
  • Best Brand Interaction
  • Best IoT Voice Device

In addition to the VOICE Summit Awards, the Dinner will also honor challenge winners from special global competitions put forward by Amazon, Microsoft and Samsung.

“The way humans interact with machines is at an inflection point and conversational artificial intelligence (AI) is at the center of the transformation,” continued Erickson. “Certain voice technologies are known for enabling customers to interact with the world around them in a more intuitive way using their voice, and these challenges from Amazon, Microsoft and Samsung are an effort to progress the way this technology is used.”
