Once again this year a top-class jury of seven Swiss event professionals came
together to vote on this year’s XAVER Award, which recognises outstanding
achievements in the fields of live communication in the Alpine region.
In a total of seven categories, the jury — chaired by Claus Holtmann — awarded
various finalists, such as the Athletics World Cup 2014 (in the category “Best
Supplier Project”), the Toasted Challenge, a fun sports event that scooped the “Best
Public Event’ award and Public XAVER award chosen by the audience.
Technical service provider for the glitzy event at the Messe Zurich was Winkler
Multi Media Events AG from Wohlen, and Roni Huber the Senior Project Leader and
Key Account Manager at Winkler, called on GLP’s latest X4 Bar 20 LED battens.
In an entertaining and captivating stage show each of the nominated projects was
presented in front of the jury before they announced the respective winners. The
heart of the show stage was a projection screen, framed by a total of 16 of the new
X4 Bars.
For Roni Huber it was clear that for this event just any strip light would not have
sufficed. “It had to be something appropriate and special for the occasion,’ he said.
“The X4 Bars have an incredible punch and in tight beam mode they cut
impressively through the room.”
