The company toured several major hospitality companies through the Technovation Center in 2013 to introduce them to its members' and partners' solutions. These included the Sands Expo Convention Center, Caesars Palace, Station Casinos, University of Nevada Las Vegas, Alliante Casino + Hotel, Southwest Gas, The Palazzo Resort, Shift4, and more. Most recently, the company engaged over 15 entities to demonstrate with Microsoft the benefits of the new Windows 8 features and Microsoft's Perceptive Pixel (PPI) large-format touch displays. The company hosted a number of other events at the Technovation Center during 2013, including a reception geared toward tribal gaming companies during the G2E conference, and a Cisco users group.
Technovation Solutions has built a broad range of user groups in its Las Vegas center, providing opportunities for member technologies to be showcased on an ongoing basis and providing partners with a high-end venue for meetings and events. Technovation Solutions will continue to grow this part of its business in 2014.
"We are thrilled with how our concept has taken off and are honored by the support our members and potential clients have shown this year," said Peg McGregor, CEO of Technovation Solutions. "Our growth will continue in 2014. We anticipate announcing several new members and OEM partners in the early part of the year."
The Technovation Center is known for displaying advanced solutions for the hospitality and gaming industries but in 2014, while continuing to grow its hospitality solutions, it will begin to add focus in healthcare, retail and other sectors. The company is developing several non-hospitality user groups.
Several new customer experience vignettes will be launched by the end of January, and the company will launch a quarterly newsletter for members and partners, in addition to several new collaboration opportunities. To learn more about the benefits of membership, visit www.technovationsolutions.com.
