To celebrate five decades of empowering creativity, Avolites has 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.
Founded in 1976, Avolites was built on a simple but powerful idea: that creative people deserve tools that are fast, flexible, and built for the realities of live performance. Today, Avolites is among the most trusted names in professional lighting and media control, and its products are used in all performance scenarios, from the most intimate and innovative experimental theatre productions to the world’s biggest tours and festivals.
“50 years is an extraordinary milestone, and what truly matters is the community behind it,” stated Avolites CEO Nikki Scott. “Avolites exists because of the designers, programmers, technicians, and partners who have trusted us with their creativity for half a century. This anniversary is a celebration of them: of their talent, passion, visions, imagination, and all the incredible shows they bring to life every day.”
At ISE in Barcelona, Avolites will unveil 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: 50 influential designers, programmers, and operators who will be revealed over the next 10 months. Their stories, experiences, and achievements will be shared through interviews, video content, and social media, putting the spotlight on the people who are defining the Avolites brand.
“This anniversary isn’t about looking back with nostalgia,” added Scott. “It’s about recognising what we’ve built together and using that momentum to shape the future. We’re incredibly proud of where Avolites has come from and even more excited about the years ahead.”
