Through this partnership, event planners and production teams can rent AVE’s AV gear, such as displays, racks, and integration systems, pre-configured for deployment of LEXI platform, including the LEXI Viewer.
Tony Abrahams, CEO of AI-Media, said: “By teaming with AVE as our exclusive rental partner in Australia, we’re making it significantly easier for event professionals to deliver accessible, multilingual, and high-engagement experiences. Together, we’re bringing a world-class captioning and translation solution to the Australian market.”
