Recognizing groundbreaking consumer electronics technologies and installations, the Consumer Technology Association (CTA) in conjunction with CE Pro held the 2017 Mark of Excellence Awards at CES 2017.
Presented in an evening ceremony at the Venetian Hotel in Las Vegas, the Mark of Excellence Awards recognize some of the best residential and commercial custom installation projects performed by professional integrators, as well as top consumer technology products and services that are primarily targeted at the custom installation channel.
