M3, Christie Digital, FSR and Listen Technologies make an impact at 2016 AIA Chattanooga Exhibition

M3 Technology Group and partners Christie Digital, FSR and Listen Technologies were prominent exhibitors last week at the 2016 AIA Tennessee Convention, held at the Chattanooga Convention Center.

Each year AIATN hosts an annual conventions where over 300 influential architects, firm principals and emerging professionals from the region, who gather to network and learn about innovative products and services. M3 was very pleased to attend this year’s show and present technologies specifically geared toward this professional group.

The greatest draw to the M3 booth was the stunning Christie Digital Velvet Apex LED 4×4 video wall display, powered by the Christie’s Vista Spyder X20 video processor, which presented high-impact, brilliant visuals on its expansive 100” screen. Christie experts were on hand to explain the flexibility, power and applicability of this technology to a very enthusiastic AIA-member audience.

M3 also showcased base-building fixtures and equipment, including the latest in floor box and table-mount cable cubby solutions from FSR, and ADA compliant RF and IR hearing assistance solutions from Listen Technologies. Both of these exhibits demonstrated cost-effective, easy to deploy solutions that are critical components for architects to consider when designing spaces that incorporate communications technologies.

Christie Digital’s LED video wall was a true show stopper, and base-building solutions from FSR and Listen attracted many visitors to the M3 booth. It was tremendous to see these AV technologies embraced by the architectural community at the 2016 AIA Tennessee show. Until next year…We thank everyone who participated in making this show such a great success!
