Front End | News Electronics Industry Awards 2020: Virtually the same
Save the date for the first virtual lectronics ndustry Awards hursday 24 September 2020 A E
fter careful consideration, the organisers of the Electronics Industry Awards have made the difficult decision to not host a
physical event in 2020 but are excited to reveal the plans for the scheme’s first ever live-streamed awards ceremony. Launched by Datateam Business Media in association with CIE Magazine in 2018, the Electronics Industry Awards quickly established itself as a key event on the industry calendar – bringing together the very best people, products and businesses for an annual evening of celebration. In light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the organisers have determined that it will not be viable to host a physical event while safeguarding all attendees and
staff in 2020. However, with this year’s results already set in stone, the organisers are keen to see those that have been selected as winners enjoy their hard-earned moment in the spotlight.
With that being said, the Electronics Industry Awards team are delighted to invite every single electronics industry professional to join them on Thursday 24 September for the scheme’s first ever digital awards ceremony – virtually the same. Event manager Harriet Campbell commented “This year we received an incredible number of high-calibre entries and industry professionals and our judging panel all committed time and expertise to determine the winners. While we are all of course disappointed that we can’t
gather in one room for our usual evening of celebration, we were determined that the individuals, products and businesses that you have selected as winners get the recognition they deserve.
“The electronics industry is always leading the pack when it comes to innovation, and this inspired us to find a way to host an event that honours the ethos of the scheme while safeguarding everyone involved.” Harriet continued “On behalf of myself and the entire Electronics Industry team, I am incredibly excited to invite every single industry professional to join us for our first live-streamed virtual awards on Thursday 24 September.” No pre-registration will be required for the event; those that wish to get involved are invited to simply log on to the Electronics
