The 21st annual Interactive Innovation Awards presented by KPMG recognize the most exciting tech developments in the connected world. Hundreds of projects entered for a chance at the top honors in each of 13 categories. New for 2018, AI & Machine Learning has been added to recognize the emerging developments in the field of “thinking” digital systems. Explore the work of the top five finalist projects in each category “hands-on” at the Interactive Innovation Awards Showcase on Sunday, March 11, then join us as we announce the winners, as well as other fun, special honors, at the Interactive Innovation Awards Ceremony hosted by Elliot V. Kotek on the evening of Tuesday, March 13. Pre-Party food and drinks start at 6:00, and the Ceremony begins at 7:00.
