ProVu Exhibit at Channel Live 2018

It’s been a busy month for the ProVu Team with numerous webinars and the Channel’s biggest exhibition, Channel Live. This year’s show was the second show to be held at the Birmingham NEC and we were delighted to be joined by Cisco, Gigaset, Sennheiser and Yealink on our stand. As always it was great to catch up with our partners, old and new.

In addition to our product-focussed stand, we also had the ProVu Pitstop where we had everyone’s childhood favourite, Scalextric on the stand. Throughout the two days visitors competed to make it on to the ProVu Pitstop leaderboard to be in with a chance to win one of four bottles of Champagne. Congratulations to everyone who made it onto the leaderboard and to our 4 Channel Champions!

If you attended the show, we hope you enjoyed it too – we look forward to seeing you again next year!
