The selection, made from over 140 entries, spans nine BaM Content Chain® categories, with an additional award recognizing exceptional projects, events, or collaborations.
This year’s submissions notably feature advancements in AI and ML, though no entries were exclusively based on these technologies. Instead, AI and ML are being integrated to enhance and accelerate existing products and workflows, reflecting a more measured impact on the industry than initially anticipated.
The judging panel, consisting of over 40 independent experts, will undertake detailed evaluations of the shortlisted entries. These evaluations will include visits to the stands of the shortlisted companies once IBC2024 opens. The winners will be announced during the BaM Awards® reception and presentation ceremony on Saturday, September 14, in Conference Room 2 of the Auditorium Complex at the RAI.
