Nevado wins CoreMedia Rising Star 2026

Nevado's team accepts the CoreMedia Rising Star 2026 Award at CoreMedia Connect in Hamburg

CoreMedia Connect is held once a year at the Kehrwieder Theatre in Hamburg. Situated on the water in the Speicherstadt, Hamburg's famous turn-of-the-20th-century warehouse district where huge red brick buildings rise from wooden pile-driven foundations, the event draws together CoreMedia's team, partners and clients for a day (and night) of learning, sharing and socialising.

Nevado was thrilled to be invited to CoreMedia Connect 2026: we were nominated for an award, but also excited about the opportunity to see the CoreMedia team in their element and learn more about the direction for the product over the year ahead.

The CoreMedia Rising Star Award is an annual honour presented during the CoreMedia Partner Excellence Award Ceremony to recognise outstanding, forward-thinking partners in the CoreMedia ecosystem who demonstrate exceptional commitment, rapid growth, and innovation.

Nevado was nominated for our work in implementing CoreMedia's enterprise Content Management System for Belmond, one of the world's most storied luxury travel brands.

We were honoured to take to the stage to accept the award alongside fellow winners ]init[ (Delivery Excellence), Monday Consulting (Business Excellence) and Renegade (Outstanding Contribution).

We have worked with Belmond for twenty years, so when they selected CoreMedia as their next-generation enterprise CMS, we were introduced to the CoreMedia team as the systems integrator for the project. We quickly found them warm, supportive and available, and this feeling, epitomised by Founder and CEO Sören Stamer, was pervasive at the theatre in Hamburg.

We went into our CoreMedia relationship ready to listen, and quickly established that the best results for Belmond would come if we used CoreMedia's platform according to best practice. Aided by CoreMedia, our engineering team quickly built the capability we would need, and the end result is a new content management experience that has delighted the client's team.

With 28 incredible hotels and 7 luxury trains across the world, as well as river barges in France and safari camps in Botswana, the Belmond site delivers content in six languages, with fully integrated custom booking features tailored perfectly to Belmond's unique needs.

Winning the Rising Star Award was an honour for Nevado, but one built on collaborative work between Belmond, CoreMedia and our team. We look forward to expanding our use of CoreMedia's tools in the future, and hope to return to the Kehrwieder Theatre in the not-too-distant future!

The success in this project was built on what Belmond describe as the "triangle of trust" between Belmond, CoreMedia and Nevado. A huge thanks to the CoreMedia team for recognising our work!
