IABM today announced the shortlisted entries for the 2024 NAB Show edition of its BaM Awards®. The shortlist has been selected by the judges from over 130 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 NAB Show 2024 opens to complete the judging process. The eventual winners will be announced and presented on Tuesday 16 April during the show.
“A very high level of innovation was immediately apparent when reviewing the submissions for this edition of the BaM Awards®,” said Stan Moote, CTO at IABM and chair of the judging panel. “We are seeing an increase year-on-year in the number of entries in the Manage category, which clearly shows how the vendors have reacted to the industry’s requirement for orchestration and workflow management, along with faster methods for content preparation. The Support category has, however, been trending downwards, which should be a red flag for the industry that cyber security and QC operations are not being given the priority they require.”
