IABM rewards Game Changers at NAB Show 20 April 2016
Exceptional breadth and depth of innovation on show at Game Changer Awards ceremony
Las Vegas, USA 19 April 2016 At its annual awards ceremony during the NAB Show 2016, IABM announced the winners of its prestigious Game Changer Awards. The awards were presented by Chris Brown, EVP, Conventions and Business Operations, NAB, and Peter White, IABM CEO.
The winners, across nine categories that align with IABM's Global Market Valuation and Strategy Report, were selected from an original 80 high quality submissions. The judging was carried out by a panel of 40 independent, highly experienced industry professionals, each with specialist expertise in one or more of the award categories.
The judging panel was chaired by IABM Director of Technology and Strategic Insight, John Ive. The applications for our Game Changer Awards this year were of exceptionally high quality, and reflect the depth and breadth of innovation in the broadcast and media technology supplier community, said Ive. The brief summary the judges gave for each of the winning entries cannot do justice to their quality, and I urge visitors to the NAB Show to seek them out here to fully understand the innovation and potential they show.
The winners are listed below by category, with the judges' comments appended:
