After more than a decade of celebrating the pioneers of event technology, the Event Technology Awards last night crowned the winners of its first ever AI Edition, at The White Space at The Ministry in London.
It is the first awards programme dedicated entirely to artificial intelligence in events, and the room reflected how far the industry has moved: AI is no longer a future idea but the engine behind a new generation of event experiences.
Across 21 categories, 16 companies took home a trophy. Voxo was the standout of the night with four wins, while Yellow and Rozie Synopsis each took two. The biggest crowd moment came in Most Innovative AI Application, where Piper came through a field of thirteen finalists.
Our thanks go to the judging panel who assessed every entry, to the team who built the night, and to our headline sponsor Evessio, without whom the inaugural edition would not have happened.
