The finalists for this year’s AVIAs have been announced!
How do you compare an opera house stage management system with a national retail video narrowcast network? Or a virtual chamber orchestra with a city-wide event control network? That was the task set for the Audio Visual Industry Awards (AVIAs) judging panel to arrive at the list of finalists for the 2014 awards. The substantial increase in entries submitted in this fifth year of awards presented the independent judging panel with the complex task of selecting from a truly diverse range of nominated projects.
The 2014 winners of the AV Asia Pacific- sponsored AVIAs will be announced at 6:45pm during an AV industry social gathering at Integrate on Wednesday 27 August. Refreshments will be provided from 6:00pm through the generosity of InfoComm International.
The AV Industry Awards are hosted and presented by AV Asia Pacific in conjunction with a panel of independent judges nominated by industry associations, InfoComm International, ALIA (the Australasian Lighting Industry Association) and AETM (the Association of Educational Technology Managers).
