NAB 2024 has taken its final curtain call, and Enigma is shining a light on the show’s Sustainability Award winners - awarded and Hosted by the National Association of Broadcasters.
First launched in 2023, these awards highlight the companies, products, technology and services and outstanding individuals that put sustainability at the heart of their activities to drive social and economic development.
With Earth Day 2024’s "Planet vs. Plastics" signifying EarthDay.org’s recommitment to a 60% reduction in plastic production by 2040, the theme of sustainability takes on new significance for the events industry.
