NeoCon announced the 2021 Best of NeoCon jury. After an extensive nomination process, an exceptional group of interior designers, architects, facility managers, procurement professionals, design consultants, and enterprise clients has been carefully selected to judge the coveted competition. The 2021 jury brings together industry leaders, facility managers, and active specifiers from top firms and companies such as HOK, Amazon, and Perkins & Will, with expertise ranging from commercial, healthcare, education, and technology sectors. With about half returning and half new participants, the jury will be tasked with selecting the best of the best from 58 product categories across a range of verticals. Early indicators point to a record number of submissions with entries up more than 20 percent over previous years at this time in the competition.
“As one of the founders, I’ve been managing the Best of NeoCon Competition for the entirety of the program’s 31 years. The 2021 edition expands upon the competition's rich tradition of community and product excellence. In partnering with theMART, we’ve grown the jury and broadened the submission categories to be in line with the latest trends and shifts in the commercial interiors industry,” notes Eileen McMorrow, director of the Best of NeoCon competition.
