The credibility of any awards program rests entirely on the people evaluating the entries. Today, we are proud to announce the judging panel for the UC Awards 2026.
We have assembled a panel of senior practitioners, industry analysts, and enterprise buyers who know the difference between great marketing and great technology.
Led by Executive Chair of Judges, Rob Scott, this group is ultimately responsible for the integrity of every shortlist and winner decision across all 25 categories.
"Great work deserves to be seen. After years covering this sector, I know how much genuine innovation goes unrecognized. We built the UC Awards to fix that, and the judging panel is the heart of that commitment."
