We welcomed back the annual Catalyst INVENT Awards, an event I always love to work on with Kerry McGarvey. Like everything in 2020, their event was a little different this year. We hosted our first awards ceremony in our Hybrid Studio and what a night it was! It was fantastic to use the space to host the finalists at a safe social distance, live stream the event and give the 2020 winner the opportunity to receive their award outside of their own home.
