AVIXA™, the Audiovisual and Integrated Experience Association, is pleased to announce the AV Experience Awards finalists. This awards program recognizes the innovative integration of content, space, and audiovisual technology to enrich experiences.
“We are extremely impressed by the diverse range of AV projects that were submitted from across the globe. From Brazil to Qatar, we saw projects from more than 20 countries,” said Dan Goldstein, Chief Marketing Officer of AVIXA. “AV professionals are applying technology in imaginative ways to entertain, educate, and inspire people. We’re proud to honor these displays of creativity and the mark they’re leaving on the world.”
