Bennett Awards Crafts Custom Trophies for Inaugural OMTEC Awards at 2025 Orthopedic Expo

CHICAGO - June 29, 2025 - PRLog -- Bennett Awards is proud to have partnered with ORTHOWORLD® to design and produce striking custom trophies for the inaugural OMTEC Awards, held during the OMTEC 2025 conference at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Chicago from June 17-19.

The ORTHOWORLD team approached Bennett Awards earlier this year with a clear vision: to create an award that reflected their brand identity and captured the modern spirit of orthopedic innovation. They provided an impressive range of AI-generated design renderings—an approach that enabled thorough exploration of potential concepts. Though many initial renderings leaned toward a traditional award aesthetic, a collaborative design process ultimately led both teams to pursue a minimalist, sleek direction aligned with OMTEC's contemporary tone.

The finished awards stand 8 inches tall and are crafted from machined aluminum with a blue powder-coated finish that perfectly matches OMTEC's brand palette. The trophy's centerpiece features a stylized "O" inspired by the event's logo, while a black powder-coated aluminum base includes the full logo printed prominently on the front.

The OMTEC Awards were created to celebrate excellence across the orthopedic manufacturing spectrum. Presented during the keynote breakfast on June 18, these awards honor achievements in device design, innovation, and leadership. Winners also participated in a panel discussion to share their insights with OMTEC attendees.

Thanks again for your help making this project a huge success!"

Bennett Awards is honored to have played a part in OMTEC's inaugural celebration of orthopedic excellence and looks forward to supporting future events that recognize innovation and leadership in the medical device industry.
