Elektra Awards – a night of stars

On 10 December the electronics industry gathered to celebrate the winners of the Elektra Awards.

The venue for the 2024 Elektra awards was the IET London in Savoy Place, offering iconic riverside views of the Thames and the London skyline.

In the historic auditorium Electronics Weekly’s editor, Caroline Hayes, welcomed guests to the Awards and reflected on the history of the event. She also remarked on some significant personalities and events for the industry that had occurred in that year.

The host for the Awards was London comedian Emmanuel Sonubi, who has hosted Live at the Apollo and Comedy Centrals Live. He charmed and amused attendees with anecdotes from his career on the live comedy circuit and his former career as a bouncer.

This year saw some new award categories celebrating innovation in the workplace as well as excellence in electronics design.
