Adam Parry, Co-Founder of Event Tech Live, comments: “The ETAs is much more than simply ‘winners and the rest’. It’s a snapshot of the ingenuity at work in each of 30 categories and the judges have to be able to read between what can be very thin lines to make sure every point counts in their decision. It’s up to us to make sure companies putting time and effort into submitting entries have every confidence in the panel; one look at these names and their wealth of experience tells me we have ticked that box big time. So I would like to thank this fantastic team of 20 in advance for their commitment to the Event Technology Awards 2018.”
Open for entries until May 31, the ETA salutes the achievements of companies designing and delivering solutions across the gamut of live events, from festivals to exhibitions, brand activations to conferences. CLICK HERE for the categories.
The awards ceremony returns to Troxy on November 7, between the two days of Event Tech Live 2018.
