Lifetime Achievement Xaver for Rémy Crégut

Under the motto "Cirque d'Illusion", the LiveCom industry can expect a "circus-inspired and mystical atmosphere" on September 10, writes the organizers of the Expo Event Swiss Livecom Association in a press release. Guests at the 22nd Xaver Award are encouraged to dress in red and black in accordance with the "Circus Chic" dress code.

As in previous years, the decision as to which project team will take home the "Public Xaver" is in the hands of the public. Voting takes place via the new Xaver website.

"The Xaver Award 2024 is once again a symbol of excellence and innovation in the Swiss LiveCom industry. In a constantly changing world in which creativity and experience orientation are more central than ever, the Xaver Award offers a stage to celebrate the best projects, ideas and visions," says Andreas Kern, project manager and board member of the association about this year's Xaver edition.

This year's 34 submissions once again demonstrated the impressive diversity and innovative strength of the industry, Kern continued: "The Xaver Award is more than just an award - it is recognition for the courage to break new ground and for the passion that is invested in each individual project."
