The CEDIA Awards celebrate the best in design, installation and integration, with the announcement of 26 winners in a ceremony attended by over 400 industry professionals held at the British Museum, London.
The black-tie event opened with a reception in the Egyptian Sculpture gallery, before the attendees made their way to a 3-course dinner at the Great Court. Presented by technology expert and The Gadget Show US and UK host Jason Bradbury, the ceremony had plenty of comedic moments, as well as the announcement of the 2018 EMEA CEDIA Awards winners and the 3 Global Award winners.
“The outstanding quality of all projects, in every category, was incredibly inspiring this year,” the association says. “We’d like to thank all those who took part and joined us for a fantastic evening of celebrations and would like to congratulate the winners on their well-deserved success. They have set the benchmark for next year’s CEDIA Awards and the industry as a whole, and we hope this inspires members to put forward their projects into next year’s awards scheme.”
All CEDIA Awards winners and finalists are showcased in the annual yearbook featuring exclusive imagery, project synopsis and kit lists. The yearbook is available both in print and as a download from the CEDIA Awards website.
