This year’s Inavate 40 under 40 list highlights professionals from across the region, recognising innovation, perseverance and industry-disrupting brilliance.
This year’s 40 Under 40 saw a record number of applicants, making the judging process more challenging than ever. Every entrant showcased remarkable achievements, and the decisions often came down to the finest of margins. While this list highlights the top 40 professionals, the judges extend their congratulations to the entire field.
At Inavate, we are confident that with professionals like these, the future of the AV industry is in excellent hands, poised for continued success. In addition to celebrating their accomplishments, we asked each entrant about the changes they would like to see in the industry’s future and how we can attract more young talent. Their responses were both inspiring and thought-provoking, with innovative solutions to address current challenges.
The Class of 2024 is detailed in the November edition of Inavate EMEA. You can access the issue here.
