Over 100 of the world’s leading technology journalists have delved into the plethora of hardware products available on the market, casting their votes for their preferred choices. On Monday, 3rd June 2024, the 10th edition of the European Hardware Awards will be unveiled, showcasing the definitive list of the finest hardware currently available.
No other editorial survey rivals the European Hardware Association’s (EHA) comprehensive approach in identifying the top-tier products. Marking its tenth anniversary, the EHA Awards 2024 are set to be an exceptional occasion.
The EHA Awards’ success is built upon the foundation of countless individual tests conducted over more than two decades. The collective effort of the nine publications that constitute the European Hardware Association taps into an audience exceeding 20 million PC technology enthusiasts, early adopters, and influencers across Europe who rely on us for unbiased, expert purchasing guidance.
This year’s venue will be the Marriott Courtyard at Nangang – which means it will be very easy to access for anyone who has been setting up for the show that starts Tuesday morning.
The EHA Awards 2024 welcomes vendors, distributors, resellers and manufacturers to secure their complimentary tickets by visiting this link.
The nomination process, analytical review and voting mechanism for products are meticulously outlined here.
While the selection process has been continuously refined over the years, the fundamental voting categories have remained consistent throughout the decade this event has been celebrated.
