Award organisers are thrilled to announce the winners of this year’s highly anticipated Smart Building Awards, which were revealed with great excitement during EI Live! 2023 last week. These awards serve as a beacon of recognition and celebration for the most innovative and ground-breaking achievements in the ever-evolving world of smart buildings and luxury AV.
Hosted once again at the Village hotel, this highly anticipated calendar event in the realm of smart technology and home automation, has become a distinguished platform for honouring exceptional contributions to the industry. This year’s ceremony marked a momentous occasion where brilliance and ingenuity were brought to the forefront in a fun filled night of awards and networking.
A massive thank you to the sponsors of the awards this year, the returning main sponsor of the night Sonos and drinks reception sponsor Gaia International.
Our esteemed panel of judges, comprised of industry experts and thought leaders, meticulously assessed an array of impressive submissions.
