What sets the Inavation Awards apart?
One of the standout features of the Inavation Awards is their commitment to recognising the effort that goes into managing an entire AV project: project win, system design, project management, installation and ongoing service and support are all considered. This philosophy has made our Project categories highly respected and sought after within the AV community.
By focusing exclusively on AV integrators, consultants, and end users, the Inavation Awards ensure that the projects recognised are celebrated for their holistic achievements. In recognition of the pivotal role that technology suppliers can also play in project execution, we also have the dedicated Applied Technology Award for manufacturers of AV technology. The remaining Project Categories however honour the full lifecycle of a project, from design and integration to execution and impact. This approach highlights the intricate work that goes into creating seamless, state-of-the-art AV experiences that resonate far beyond the industry.
The prestige of the Inavation Awards is reflected in the calibre of the projects that are entered every year. Past finalists and winners have included some of the most groundbreaking AV installations across the globe, often housed in iconic locations and for world-renowned organisations. Winning an Inavation Award is not just an industry accolade; it’s a recognition that can capture the attention of national and local media, boosting the visibility and reputation of the winning teams and their projects.
The impact of these awards is far-reaching. They serve as a badge of honour, signalling to clients, partners, and the broader industry that your work is second to none. The recognition from the Inavation Awards can open doors to new opportunities, help build lasting professional relationships, and affirm your position as a leader in the field of AV integration.
Why enter?
If you're involved in the AV industry as an integrator, consultant, or end user, the Inavation Awards provide an unmatched platform to showcase your work. Here’s why you should consider entering:
Recognition of your team’s efforts: The Inavation Awards acknowledge the entire team behind a project, ensuring that the collective efforts of designers, integrators, and end users are celebrated.
Validation of your work: Winning or even being shortlisted for an Inavation Award serves as an independent validation of your project’s success, providing a benchmark against which you can measure your work.
Global exposure: The awards attract entries from across the world, offering winners and finalists global exposure. This can be particularly beneficial for securing new clients or expanding into new markets.
A badge of honour: As past winners can attest, being recognised by the Inavation Awards is a prestigious honour that can significantly enhance your professional standing in the AV industry.
