The winners of the Inavate APAC Awards 2026 were revealed during a lively evening of celebration in Bangkok on July 15.
The event brought together the full spectrum of the APAC AV industry, including manufacturers, distributors, consultants, integrators and end users. The audience was particularly strong in technology buyers and specifiers, with many responsible for some of the region’s largest, most ambitious and technically accomplished AV projects.
Hurrairah bin Sohail, managing editor of Inavate APAC, said: “The standard of entries this year was exceptional and, without doubt, represented the strongest field we have seen since launching the Inavate APAC Awards. Choosing the winners was incredibly difficult, with outstanding projects and companies represented across every category.
“Tonight demonstrated the extraordinary depth of knowledge, creativity and ambition that exists across the APAC AV industry. It was fantastic to bring together the people commissioning, specifying and delivering some of the region’s most impressive projects, as well as the manufacturers and distributors supporting their work.
“The atmosphere was brilliant, and it was a real pleasure to celebrate the achievements of all our finalists and winners with such a broad representation of the industry.”
Special thanks go to headline sponsor Sennheiser, hospitality sponsor PSNI and event sponsor GPA, alongside category partners Adamson, Atlona, Barco, Bose, Christie, Harman, Hi-Tech, Lightware, Powersoft, Sigma AVIT and Vega, and associate sponsors Arthur Holm and Metahive.
Their support does more than help make the evening possible. By backing an event that recognises and celebrates excellence across APAC, these companies are helping to raise standards, highlight outstanding work and strengthen the industry as a whole. That contribution is hugely valuable and deserves to be applauded.
