LIA has always been an Awards Show that values the advant garde and brave, and it’s an honour to be chairing the Transformative Business Impact and Creative Use of Data Jury. This is the category that proves the geeks are the new vanguard of genuine business transformational creativity. When not judging you’ll be able to find us on the gaming floor counting cards.”

Says Sobhani: “What can I say, I’m incredibly excited to be President of the Integration jury this year at LIA. I particularly love integrated, as the craft of creating a complete experience and journey for audiences has never been more challenging and rewarding. I can’t wait to dive in with my fellow jurors and get inspired by what can and has been created this year.
