IABM announces shortlisted entries for BaM Awards® at IBC2024
IABM today announced the shortlisted entries for the 2024 IBC edition of its BaM Awards®. The shortlist has been selected by the judges from over 140 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 IBC2024 opens to complete the judging process. The eventual winners will be announced and presented at the BaM Awards® reception and presentation ceremony on Saturday 14 September.
“As chair of the judges of the IABM BaM Awards®, I have had the opportunity to review all the entries, many of which featured AI and ML this year. Amazingly, there were no purely AI or ML products,” said Stan Moote, CTO at IABM. “The main focus of AI and ML was adding these technologies into improving and speeding up current products and workflows. This clearly shows that AI/ML will be – and indeed, already is – significantly impacting the industry, albeit in a more controlled manner by vendors than some had predicted at the outset of the AI revolution.
“Overall, we once again had many very strong submissions, particularly in the Create content chain segment, and the judges will be challenged in deciding the eventual winners.”
