Gold Award for Audiovisual Solution
Behind The Volt Wins at the Eventex Awards 2026
London, United Kingdom – Behind The Volt is proud to announce that we are among the winners in the 16th edition of Eventex Awards – the world’s #1 awards for events and experience marketing.
At the 2026 Eventex Awards, Behind The Volt received Gold in the “Use of Audiovisual” category for our work on ROSHN Group LIV Golf Riyadh – the world’s largest professional night golf tournament. The project recognised a bold reimagining of how audiovisual technology, lighting, and show integration can transform a live sporting event into a fully immersive entertainment experience.
Conceived by Alan Muller, Managing Director at Behind The Volt, the project transformed Riyadh Golf Club into a spectacular 1km² live experience environment, combining over 1,300 fixtures with seamlessly integrated lighting, laser, projection, LED, sound, video, and water fountain systems. At the centre of the design was the deployment of state-of-the-art KVANT Prestige Beams, creating a city-scale visual presence visible far beyond the course itself and establishing the event as a landmark spectacle within Riyadh.
The award recognised Behind The Volt’s ability to merge technical precision with high-impact entertainment, delivering a fully synchronised audiovisual ecosystem for broadcast audiences, fans in attendance, and global social media viewers alike. The project set a new benchmark for sports presentation, combining immersive storytelling with cutting-edge technology integration on a global stage.
Eventex Awards 2026 received a record 1405 entries from 58 countries and 6 continents, with the number significantly surpassing the previous edition’s 1239 entries. It’s truly an outstanding achievement to be recognised and awarded among so many projects from all corners of the globe.
Entries were evaluated by an independent jury of industry leaders, including journalists from leading event publications, heads of associations, convention bureau representatives, and senior creative and strategic professionals from around the world.
“The 16th edition of Eventex Awards brought a record number of entries, and with them, proof that the events industry’s creative ambition has no ceiling. Witnessing groundbreaking work crafted by professionals who refuse to stand still is exactly what drives us forward. Every edition, we think we’ve seen it all. Every edition, we’re wrong, and we wouldn’t have it any other way. Winning an Eventex award is no small feat, and personally, on behalf of the entire Eventex team, I want to congratulate Behind The Volt on a truly outstanding achievement,” comments Ovanes Ovanessian, Co-founder of Eventex Awards.
“Winning Gold at the Eventex Awards is another hugely proud moment for the team and further recognition of what can happen when creativity, technology, and ambitious clients come together,” said Alan Muller, Managing Director at Behind The Volt. “Our vision for LIV Golf Riyadh was to create an experience that blurred the lines between sport, entertainment, and large-scale live spectacle. This award reflects the incredible collaboration between our team, LIV Golf, and all delivery partners involved in bringing that vision to life.”
