ISE 2010 saw the InAVation Awards return with a revamped shorter format. Held at the heart of the Amsterdam show, organisers deemed the ceremony a resounding success with a full-house of nearly 1,000 attendees gathering to celebrate the industry’s achievements.
As soon as ISE shut the doors on its second day, excited finalists, supporters and attendees flocked to the RAI’s diamond lounge. The new format sparked a lively atmosphere and as the champagne reception began there was an air of genuine anticipation.
Each award was delivered in a unique style by the extraordinary singing compare. The tuneful presentation captivated the 983-strong audience as 14 technology recipients, nine triumphant project finalists and Thomas Hülsmann, consultant of the year took to the stage to lift well-deserved prizes.
Final counts show that more than 14,000 qualifying votes were cast across the technology categories. A list of technology and project winners can be found below and details on all finalists are published at the
