Event technology companies will once again vie for the top spot at this year’s Society of Independent Show Organizer’s Event Innovation Battlefield.

The nominating committee chose four finalists from more than 50 organizations that applied, and the battlefield will feature four event technology companies.

“Each year SISO is looking for breakthrough event technology or amazing new business models just before they are released publicly so that we may keep one step ahead in our ever changing industry,” said David Adler, one of the principal SISO members that developed the Event Innovation Battlefield for SISO’s Leadership Conference.

He added, “It’s exciting to see all of the innovation in our industry and it opens our minds to what was not possible just a few short years ago. It truly is a celebration of talent and ideas.”
