The first Broadcast Tech Innovation Awards were held last night at a sold-out gala dinner at 8 Northumberland Avenue
The winners of the inaugural Broadcast Tech Innovation Awards were announced in front of a capacity crowd of 400 at 8 Northumberland Avenue, London last night.
The Broadcast Tech Innovation Awards, which were hosted by comedian Phil Wang, honour technology-driven advancements across all areas of TV production and broadcast. Rather than award purely products, they shine the spotlight on the people, teamwork and projects that bring this tech to life.
All the award winners, including all the highly commended entries and all the shortlisted projects, are listed below.
Broadcast Sport and Tech editor Jake Bickerton said: “We’re truly grateful for how the industry has embraced these awards and really got involved in making them a huge success. The staggering array of talent that came together for the Broadcast Tech Innovation Awards is testament to the enviable levels of invention in the industry. Given the amazing response, we’re going up in size for next year’s awards - we’ll be announcing the details soon, so watch this space. Huge congratulations to all those who came along last night, and to all the night’s winners.”
The event was sponsored by Jigsaw24, Iyuno, Gravity Media, ES Broadcast and Grass Valley.
