The first major winners of the evening have been announced at the Inavation Awards, with excellence in Technology and Applied Technology recognised as the ceremony reaches its midpoint.
The Technology Awards, delivered in partnership with Audiologic, celebrate product innovation across the AV industry and are voted for by the industry itself. This year’s winners reflect the technologies AV professionals believe are making the biggest difference in real-world deployment, from improved performance and reliability to smarter workflows and stronger user experiences.
