Avolites, one of the pioneers in lighting and media controls recently celebrated five decades of empowering creativity that has helped style the look and feel of live entertainment lighting and visuals worldwide. They've kicked off a series of initiatives that will run throughout the year, including the opportunity to win a one-of-a-kind 24-carat gold plated Avolites console.

50 years is an extraordinary milestone, and what truly matters is the community behind it - Nikki Scott, CEO, Avolites.

At ISE Barcelona, Avolites unveiled the Golden Console Competition, a high-profile campaign created to energise and connect the global Avolites community throughout the year. Alongside this, Avolites is introducing its Avo50 Ambassadors: fifty influential designers, programmers, and operators who will be revealed over the next ten months. Their stories, experiences, and achievements will be shared through interviews, video content, and social media, putting the spotlight on the people who are truly defining the Avolites brand.

These initiatives will be joined by a wide range of anniversary activity, including a time capsule project, archive features, and special content reflecting the people, products, and moments that have shaped Avolites over five decades.

So much has changed in the industry over 50 years, but as Avolites looks ahead to its next chapter, the mission remains clear: to collaborate with creative professionals and provide them with the tools they need to push boundaries, tell stories, and create memorable experiences.
