Internet Retailer, the world’s leading publisher of strategic e-commerce business intelligence, today announced the finalists for the 13 categories of the second-annual Internet Retailer Excellence Awards. The awards recognize the outstanding achievements made by innovative online retailers and business-to-business (B2B) e-commerce companies in the past year. Internet Retailer will announce the winners at the Excellence Awards dinner banquet held at the Hyatt Regency McCormick Place hotel on June 8, 2016, as the Internet Retailer Conference & Exhibition convenes for its 12th straight year. Internet Retailer serves as the official media sponsor of IRCE, which will occur at McCormick Place West in Chicago from June 7-10, 2016.
“I enthusiastically congratulate all 51 finalists for our second-annual 2016 Internet Retailer Excellence Awards,” says Jack Love, publisher of Internet Retailer. “Our goal is to highlight best practices that all online retailers and B2B e-commerce companies can learn from. We added three categories this year, and the greater number of awards will provide more knowledge to the industry and, thus, more ways for businesses that sell online to improve their operations.
