Silent Seminars founder, duncan strain, awarded International Confex Award for Event Industry Contribution.

We are incredibly proud to announce that Duncan Strain, our Director and Founder, has been awarded the International Confex Award for Event Industry Contribution.

This honour recognises individuals whose work has shaped the industry in meaningful and lasting ways, and anyone who has worked with Duncan will know how fitting that is. His belief that audio should be clear, inclusive and effortless has driven Silent Seminars from a small idea to a trusted partner for organisers around the world.

Duncan’s commitment to innovation has never been about technology alone – it has always been about people. About helping audiences feel connected, enabling speakers to be heard and supporting organisers in delivering content that truly lands. This award is a reflection of that purpose and the passion he brings to every project.

It also shines a light on the team behind Silent Seminars. Every event, every theatre build and every headset in an attendee’s hands is the result of collective effort, creativity and care. Duncan would be the first to say that this milestone belongs to all of us.

Please join us in congratulating Duncan Strain on this well deserved recognition.
