What’s the #1 thing to know about experiential technology?
  

How long do LED walls last? (The answer will surprise you.) Is a project done when it opens, or are growing pains normal? What happens when you use technology just to have technology? What’s an “integrator”? Is sustainability a thing in experiential tech? How? What missteps waste money, ruin the experience, and let content go stale?

Jonathan Alger (Managing Partner, C&G Partners) is joined by Will Bullins (Executive Consultant, Electrosonic) to go over six Experiential Tech Insights you’ll want to remember.

Along the way: AVIXA, a little wonking out on pixel pitch distance formulas, and of course, the Las Vegas Sphere.

Talking Points:

1. Never use technology just to have technology.

2. Be clear about your true goals.

3. Growing pains are normal, after opening.

4. Sustainability is a thing.

5. Discuss fears, budgets and timeframes openly and often.

6. Start the discussion early, even if briefly.
