The awards were presented at RetailVision Europe, the premier global event for the retail channel, which took place last week in Rome. RetailVision Europe is the only Pan-European event where new PC and consumer electronics products and channel programs are unveiled, retailer/distributor-vendor relationships are forged, and critical retail merchandising decisions are made.

RetailVision Europe brought technology vendors together with the top retailers and distributors who select the technology products that will go into thousands of outlets across Europe. RetailVision Europe is the only Pan-European event where attendees are guaranteed to meet and do business with Europe's top IT retailers and distributors through Private Boardroom Appointments, One-on-One Meetings, Industry Insight Sessions and Networking events.

The "Best of RetailVision Europe Awards" are voted on by the over 150 attending retail executives who represent major retail chains, mail order and online resellers and are responsible for identifying and selecting the latest products and services that their companies will offer in thousands of outlets across Europe. After two days of boardroom presentations and one-on-one meetings, the retailers and distributors vote on the products and services presented at the show.
