Christie®, a global visual technology company, winds down a triumphant appearance at Digital Signage Expo® (DSE), March 6-9, with several of its products featured in partners’ winning entries at the prestigious Annual Digital Signage Expo Awards celebration held March 7 in Las Vegas.
Christie and its partners walked away with Gold, Silver, and Bronze awards in four categories, with the Wisconsin Institutes for Discovery installation, featuring Christie® MicroTiles® and content by Zebradog, selected as DSE’s first Apex of the Year award recipient.
The Apex awards honor innovation in the development and deployment of technology in the global digital out-of-home networks (DOOH) industry, while the Content Awards honor innovative and compelling content created for digital signage in the DOOH networks.
Chosen by an independent panel of five industry journalists, many of the following award recipients had one thing in common—they featured high-quality Christie products and/or Christie Managed Services for their integration or deployment support. Following the award presentations, Christie’s partners took home seven awards in four categories on top of the Apex of the Year award. The categories included: Business, Industry & Government, Retail, Event Venues, Hospitality, and Education & Healthcare.
