Among the other magazines nominated are The Atlantic, O The Oprah Magazine, PC Magazine, Forbes Magazine and New York magazine.

"I'm absolutely thrilled that RFID Journal LIVE! was chosen as a finalist in the first year we entered," said Mark Roberti, founder and editor of RFID Journal. "It confirms what I've always known -- that our events team, led by Kim Ray, and our editorial team apply their skills, dedication, creativity and hard work to deliver great content, a great experience and a tremendous amount of value for attendees' money."

RFID Journal LIVE! is the largest and most important RFID event in the world. More than 2,500 people attended the 2007 event, including most leading early adopters and pioneers of the technology. The event has become known globally for providing the highest quality educational experience with a comprehensive program, objective speakers and the editorial integrity that attendees now look for in technology events.

Moreover, RFID Journal LIVE! attracts the highest quality sponsors and exhibitors, showing the latest products and services. This year, the exhibit hall will feature numerous innovative new products that will reduce the deployment costs and total cost of ownership of RFID enterprise systems.

And RFID Journal LIVE! features numerous hands -on demonstrations and RFID -enabled games that enable attendees to learn about the technology in a fun, interactive setting.

"I know the competition for this award is tough," said Roberti. "We're up against Oprah Winfrey's publication and other competitors, but there is no doubt in my mind that we put on an event that serves attendees like no other in the world. That's why we've grown so quickly and that's why we were named as a finalist."
