5:15pm - 7:15pm
The TVOT MONTREAL 2026 Cocktail Reception—a Montreal-style 5 à 7—will take place at the head office (736 Rue Wellington) of our presenting sponsor, Stingray, located a short walk from the Alt Hotel. Enjoy live music, small plates and curated drinks, while connecting with industry peers.
The cocktail reception will include the presentation of the 22nd Annual Awards for Leadership in Interactive and Multiplatform Television. The Awards, each of which is judged by a who’s who of advanced-TV industry leaders, recognize individual and corporate achievement in multiple areas of interactive and multiplatform television.
The following awards will be announced at this time:
All-Star Leadership: An individual who has a long-term track record of leadership in the interactive multiplatform television industry, and who is an appropriate candidate for membership in an Interactive/Multiplatform TV Hall of Fame.
Individual Leadership: An individual who has demonstrated notable leadership in the interactive/multiplatform TV industry over the past year, and whose efforts helped move that industry forward.
Most Significant Impact: The company or organization that has had the most significant impact on the interactive and multiplatform TV industry as a whole over the past year.
TV Community Champion: An individual or individuals whose commitment and efforts over the years have helped the interactive/multiplatform TV industry grow not just as a business, but as a community.
We will also be saluting the winners of the remaining categories, which will have been announced in the ITVT newsletter just before the show.
