Inavate EMEA’s 40 Under 40 Class of 2023 has been announced celebrating the best and brightest of the AV industry’s up-and-coming talent.
This year’s 40 under 40 class focuses on AV professionals who are shaping, leading and disrupting the AV industry across the EMEA region, making waves with personal achievements, contributions to the industry and thought leadership.
The Class of 2023 saw the strongest field of applicants yet and the largest roster of women from the pro AV industry yet, putting the spotlight on the essential role that women continue to play in the industry. While women are still underrepresented, the steady increase each year is a move in the right direction, while also highlighting the long road of progress that still needs to be walked.
The 40 under 40 initiative offers an opportunity to recognise the talents of younger professionals in the industry, at a time of skills-shortages within the industry and a growing drive to expand and recruit new AV professionals.
A special 40 under 40 booklet will be mailed alongside the December 2023 edition of Inavate EMEA, including detailed write ups of each member of the Class of 2023. To receive your copy, you can register here.
