Some of the biggest names across the AV integration and manufacturing industries came together on February 10 in Amsterdam to celebrate talent, engineering skill and creativity across all aspects of the AV industry in the 9th annual InAVation Awards ceremony. Read on for a full list of all 2015 winners.
This year’s InAVation Awards ceremony, held at the Gashouder in Amsterdam, has been hailed a resounding success by organisers and attendees.
The event kicked off with the Technology Awards that recognise the best products, software and tools launched in the last year. This year InAVation Awards judges had to select finalists from nearly two hundred entries. Shortlisted companies then went up for a public vote which was weighted in an effort to select the best products (not simply those from the largest companies!). Using a points-based system, votes from technical managers, consultants, end users and integrators scored higher than those from manufacturers or distributors.
A whopping 24,452 legitimate votes were cast and the recently introduced points system created close competition. Right to the final day of voting there was everything to play for in five categories with four companies serious contenders for the Large Format Display Award.
In the Project Awards we saw strong entries from all corners of the EMEA region. The Awards also saw projects entered from beyond EMEA as, for the second year running, an international project was rewarded.
Winners can be viewed below and a full list of winners and finalists can be found on the
InAVation Awards Website. Detailed coverage will be published in InAVate EMEA’s February edition. To register
