Find out more about the AV Experience Award
The global AV Experience Awards program recognises the innovative integration of content, space and technology to create and enhance the user experience. The program seeks to find excellence in projects whose user experience is only possible by using audiovisual technology.
Recognition as an AV Experience Award winner showcases your work across multiple industries, markets and disciplines – leading to new opportunities. The awards program also inspires leaders in multiple markets to envisage new applications and solutions in their own industries.
These awards showcase the ability of AV technology to expand human capabilities, and to excite, inspire, and enhance a user experience across all markets and industries.
The winners will be recognized in an awards presentation at the InfoComm 2021 exhibition in Orlando, Florida (travel and accommodation for 2 included), featured in AVIXA publications that reach a global audience of 75,000, and shared back to EHI and reta awards so they can also promote as appropriate.
Jury
The jury, comprising representatives of industry, universities and research institutions, will select the reta award winners from the many applications received in five categories.
