Briefly about the European Video Awards

The European Video Awards is a renowned platform honoring creativity in video and CTV advertising. With a focus on outstanding achievements, the event highlights remarkable successes across five vital categories: technology, company, team, individual (leadership), and campaigns. These categories aim to recognize and applaud the winners for their contributions that have driven the industry's progress. This year, we eagerly anticipated SmartyAds being counted among them, so we went to London to experience everything in the first row. 

The finest ad tech community and industry masterminds gathered at Pan Pacific – a hotel featuring a combination of elegant luxury, thoughtful design, and the highest level of comfort.
