Inavation Awards winners have been announced during a glittering ceremony at the spectacular MNAC venue in the heart of Barcelona.
There were 25 awards up for grabs across hotly contested categories spanning project delivery and technology development. In addition Stouenborg was announced as the 2024 Company of the Year, while Genelec walked away with Manufacturer of the Year.
The Inavation Awards, powered by Inavate and ISE, is always a highlight of the ISE week. Taking place on January 30, the 2024 event was no exception. Returning to prestigious MNAC venue, the ceremony and dinner was once again a night to remember with the proceedings taking place under the soaring dome of the venue’s grand hall.
“This year’s Inavation Awards winners genuinely are the best of the best,” said Anna Mitchell, group publisher of Inavate. “In a year that saw the greatest volume of entries in the history of the Inavation Awards, our finalists had already progressed through tough judging rounds, a fantastic achievement in itself. To go on and be crowned a winner is a true indicator of excellence.”
The ceremony and dinner stretched the venue to full capacity and brought together all corners of the industry with guests from across the world representing manufacturers, distributors, consultants, integrators and end users.
Dan Jago, director of Inavate, extended his thanks to entrants and event sponsors. “This event has gone from strength to strength since we launched it in 2007. Winning an Inavation Award is considered across the industry as a genuine mark of success. This has only been achieved by our entrants who consistently put forward incredible technologies and the most prestigious projects across the world, creating a tough competition to walk away with a trophy. We could also not put on an event befitting the standards of these entries without the support of our sponsors who are valued partners of this event.”
Mike Blackman, MD of Integrated Systems Events, added his congratulations to the finalists and winners and said: “ISE takes great pride in being a dedicated partner of the Inavation Awards, a highlight during our annual event in Barcelona.
“Fuelled by the ingenuity of creative and skilled technology professionals, innovation can be found in every corner of the AV industry and is a driving force in pushing the sector on to ever greater achievements. Recognising this innovation is crucial, and the Inavation Awards is an indispensable platform within the industry to honour groundbreaking contributions.”
