  • Integration Innovation: How seamlessly the partner solution is integrated into the MeridianLink® One platform and how much value it adds.
  • Consumer Experience Enhancement: How the partnership has improved the end-user experience through a MeridianLink solution.

These five nominations will then be shared with the entire MeridianLink customer base, who will rank their top three choices. The top two nominees with the highest customer votes will receive the award at the MeridianLink Award Ceremony.

The Customer Choice Awards will be presented during MeridianLink LIVE! 2026, which will be held from May 11 – May 14 at Marriot Marquis Marina Hotel, San Diego, CA.
