Gravity Media Continues Rise Awards Partnership

Gravity Media will provide production and outside broadcast facilities for the 2026 Rise Awards, marking its fourth consecutive year supporting the event.

The ceremony, which recognises women, companies and advocates across broadcast and media technology, will take place at The Troxy in London on Tuesday 17 November. Comedian, author and actor Laura Lexx will host the evening.

The awards cover work across engineering, operations, leadership, innovation and advocacy, including contributions made behind the scenes. Categories include the Business Operations Award, Product Support Engineer Award, Technical Operations Award and Rising Star Award.

More than 25 Gravity Media crew members will work at The Troxy, producing coverage from the NOVA 346 outside broadcast vehicle, supported by a fully electric tender vehicle. A further team at the company's London Production Centre will assist with the broadcast. Six-camera coverage will be streamed live on the Rise Women in Broadcast YouTube channel.

Gravity Media said the event also gives its staff an opportunity to develop technical and operational skills, gain practical experience in live production and learn from more experienced colleagues.

The company has also provided facilities for recent coverage of the Sky Arts Awards and Pride of Britain Awards, both of which it has supported for several years. Its team members and technical innovation have received recognition this awards season at the Broadcast Sports Awards and the forthcoming Broadcast Tech Innovation Awards, with nominations including the Young Talent category.

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."
