Celebrating the Rising Stars of the AV Industry
What is the Inavate 40 Under 40?
Every year, Inavate magazine celebrates the most talented, driven, and influential young professionals shaping the future of the AV industry through its 40 Under 40 initiatives.
Launched to spotlight emerging leaders across the EMEA and APAC regions, the programme recognises those under the age of 40 who are redefining what’s possible in AV: from system design and integration to product development, project management, and beyond.
This site is for the Inavate EMEA 40 Under 40 scheme to celebrates professionals working within the EMEA region. If you are based in the APAC region head to www.inavate40under40.com/APAC
Why it matters
Launched in 2019, the Inavate 40 Under 40 isn’t just a list; it’s a community of innovators, change-makers, and rising voices driving the industry forward.
Recognition in the 40 Under 40 provides a platform for emerging talent to connect, collaborate, and inspire, while highlighting the depth of skill and creativity that will define AV’s next generation.
Past honourees have gone on to lead teams, launch companies, win awards, and contribute to some of the most groundbreaking projects in professional AV.
How it works
Each year, nominations are invited from across the AV industry. Candidates are judged on:
-
Professional achievements and leadership
-
Contribution to company and industry growth
-
Creativity and innovation in their field
-
Commitment to learning, collaboration, and industry advancement
Winners are featured in the Inavate 40 Under 40 Power Book, with opportunities for networking and recognition at key industry events.
The AV industry’s future is being written by these exceptional individuals.
