Since its launch, Joan 13 Pro has earned recognition from major industry organizations across design, audiovisual technology, and sustainability. Awards we'll detail throughout this article. But this isn't about Joan celebrating Joan.
These recognitions come from independent juries: audiovisual integrators, design councils, and sustainability experts who assess products against hundreds of alternatives and determine which ones deliver genuine value in real office environments.
Joan focuses on building products that work for the people who use them every day. When organizations with decades of judging experience validate that approach, it confirms the work holds up under scrutiny.
Here's what they saw in Joan 13 Pro.
The features that won over judges
Meeting room visibility
Joan 13 Pro shows availability across multiple rooms on one 13-inch display. The calendar-style interface gives teams a complete view of schedules for an entire floor or building, making it easy to spot open slots and make quick decisions.
Touch-based booking
The touchscreen lets people book rooms, extend meetings, or adjust schedules directly from the display. Teams see what they need and act immediately.
Battery life and sustainability
The device runs for months on a single charge. E-paper technology requires minimal power, and the six-month battery life reduces maintenance demands while supporting environmental goals. Manufacturing processes prioritize recyclable materials and reduced waste.

Why external validation matters
Who evaluated Joan 13 Pro
- Audiovisual integrators who specify technology for corporate offices
- Designers who evaluate products against hundreds of alternatives
- Sustainability experts who verify environmental claims
- Technology analysts who assess market impact and innovation
Three disciplines, one conclusion
Product design competitions examined aesthetic quality and user experience, while audiovisual industry awards focused on functionality and integration, and sustainability awards verified environmental responsibility. Each discipline brought different expertise and evaluation criteria, yet all arrived at similar conclusions about Joan 13 Pro's value.
The importance of outside eyes
Anyone can say their product works well. Independent evaluation removes that question entirely. When organizations with decades of judging experience assess your technology against competing solutions, their conclusion carries weight that marketing materials never will.
Proof that performs in the real world
The awards confirm what Joan customers already experience. The design works in real office environments, the sustainability measures deliver genuine environmental impact, and the technology addresses actual workplace problems rather than theoretical ones. External evaluation removes any question about whether internal claims hold up under scrutiny.
