The Television Academy and its New York-based sister organization, the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (NATAS), joined together to present the Engineering Emmy Awards from both organizations in a joint January 8 ceremony, during the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) confab in the Bellagio Ballroom at the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas.
Engineering Emmy Awards are bestowed upon individuals, companies or organizations for developments in engineering that are either so extensive an improvement on existing methods, or so innovative in nature, that they materially affect the transmission, recording or reception of television.
