An inspirational evening recognising the industry’s pace-setters, the 2025 edition of the BroadcastPro Manufacturer Awards is ready to set new benchmarks of excellence and attainment
The third edition of the BroadcastPro Manufacturer Awards, held in association with CABSAT, is slated to be bigger and more comprehensive than ever – and ready to honour the industry’s 16 frontrunners and most deserving industry champions. This year, we will also launch the SatellitePro Manufacturer Awards and have eight categories to start with. Following nominations, we will throw the shortlist open to industry-only audience voting in late April. At a glamorous gala dinner on 14th May, we will highlight the names at the vanguard of change, as well as the technical specialists whose know-how is transforming the viewing experience for millions of consumers.
The BroadcastPro Manufacturer Awards were created to ensure recognition for every style of the company: they represent manufacturers, network operators, resellers, tech pioneers and infrastructure providers – and all those whose broadcast solutions provide a critical commercial edge. The addition of the Satellite awards are to ensure recognition within this sector also to coincide with the launch of SatExpo at CABSAT.
Moreover, the Awards ensure that there are opportunities for smaller players and those whose niche R&D and inventiveness are invaluable for the ‘blue-sky thinking’ shaping tomorrow’s broadcast landscape. The reputation and prestige of the Awards also mean that there is no better way for businesses to gain recognition among clients and peers—even for those that typically eschew the limelight and simply get on with their ground-breaking work.
