Gravity Media will once again provide the production and outside broadcast facilities for the live coverage of the 2026 Rise Awards, continuing its support for an event that celebrates the achievements of women across the broadcast and media technology industry, while creating valuable development opportunities for its own teams.

Gravity Media, a global leader in live production and content, and media services and facilities, is proud to continue its partnership with the Rise Awards, providing production and technical facilities for the event for the fourth consecutive year, held on Tuesday 17th November at The Troxy, London.

The Rise Awards recognise the women, companies and advocates whose work underpins, advances and strengthens the broadcast and media technology industry. Celebrating achievement across a broad range of disciplines, from engineering and operations to leadership, innovation and advocacy, the awards shine a spotlight on the people and organisations making a difference, including those whose contributions often happen behind the scenes.

The night will be hosted by comedian, author and actor, Laura Lexx, and includes the categories of Business Operations Award, Product Support Engineer Award, Technical Operations Award and Rising Star Award.

For Gravity Media, supporting the event is about more than delivering the technical facilities and production expertise needed to bring the ceremony to life. It also provides an excellent training ground for its crews, giving team members the opportunity to gain valuable hands-on experience in a live production environment, develop their technical and operational skills and learn from more experienced colleagues.

The 25+ strong crew will be on site at The Troxy to produce and facilitate the coverage from outside broadcast vehicle, NOVA 346, supported by Gravity Media’s fully electric tender vehicle with an additional team back at the Gravity Media London Production Centre supporting the broadcast. The live six camera coverage of the celebrations and the night’s winners will be streamed via the Rise Women in Broadcast You Tube channel.

The Rise Awards form part of a busy awards season for Gravity Media, with crew supporting clients by providing facilities for coverage of the recent Sky Arts Awards and Pride of Britain Awards; events that the team have been supporting for a number of years. These high profile productions demonstrate the breadth of Gravity Media’s expertise in delivering the technical infrastructure and operational support required for major live and broadcast events.

The company’s own talent and innovation have also been recognised this awards season at the Broadcast Sports Awards and the upcoming Broadcast Tech Innovation Awards; team members are shortlisted in the Young Talent category and with new technical innovation also nominated.  These nominations celebrate the people and technologies helping to shape the future of broadcasting and live production.

Through its continued partnership with the Rise Awards, alongside its work on major industry events and its own award-nominated projects, Gravity Media remains committed to supporting the broadcast industry, creating opportunities for talent to thrive and delivering outstanding production experiences.

Jamie Hindhaugh, Gravity Media’s UK CEO, said:

“The Rise Awards has become an important event on the awards calendar; recognising and celebrating the achievements and contributions of women within our industry.  I’m proud that we can support the evening for a fourth year whilst also creating opportunities for our crews to develop.  Events like this allow our crews to put their skills into practice in a live environment, learn from one another and build confidence and experience.  Seeing our people grow and take on a new challenge supporting this important event is incredibly meaningful.”

Sadie Groom, Rise Founder and CEO, added:

“We’re delighted to be continuing our partnership with Gravity Media for a fourth year. Their support helps us deliver the Rise Awards and celebrate the achievements of women across the media technology industry. It’s also great to work with a team that recognises the importance of developing talent and creating opportunities for people to build their skills and experience.”
