IABM today announced the shortlisted entries for the 2023 IBC Show edition of its BaM Awards®. The Awards have this year returned to their biannual format, centered around the two largest international exhibitions, NAB Show and IBC, now that in-person events have returned. The shortlist for the IBC show edition has been selected by the judges from over 150 entries – reinforcing the value that technology developers place on the recognition provided by the BaM® Awards. The BaM Awards® reward innovation in each of the nine BaM Content Chain® categories, together with a tenth award recognizing an outstanding project, event or collaboration.
The panel of 40+ non-affiliated, expert judges is now examining the shortlisted entries in close detail. Visits to the stands of shortlisted companies will take place once IBC 2023 opens to complete the judging process. The eventual winners will be announced at the IABM BaM Awards® Party on Saturday 16 September, beginning with a drinks reception kindly sponsored by Avid at 6pm. Tickets are still available and all IABM members and shortlisted companies are welcome; register here.
“The high number of entries and the sheer innovation on display are a direct reflection of the efforts and budgets that companies are putting into their R&D,” said Stan Moote, CTO at IABM and chair of the judging panel. “It pleased me to see that many entries are debuting for the first time at IBC, indicating we are getting back to the industry’s customary trade event product releases.”
