The Xperience Board of Trustees will be the lead innovators. IIFX’s venue partners and Gold and Silver Partners will provide real-world working environments for testing concepts.
Pitches and Product Showcases
Xperience members as well as the industry will submit ideas to the greater group to be vetted. Those ideas making it to the next level will go through a pitch process.
