“We are excited and genuinely honored about winning the 2005 MAX Award. The award continues to validate our idea of how product innovation should be guided” said Mike Dunn, PolyVision President and CEO. “Our Walk-and-Talk family of products is designed to be very easy to use and enhance the way people currently work. We believe these two characteristics are vital to inspiring customers the first time they use our products.”

The two products that took the 13 th annual grand award are the Interactive Panel & Cordless Lectern and the Walk-and-Talk Interactive Whiteboard. Each of these two unique products allow users to present, collaborate and communicate from anywhere in the room. Both feature a remote control and PolyKey TM plug and play technology that completely eliminates the need to load and learn new software.

Entries are judged by the Georgia State University Marketing RoundTable, a group of 28 top civic and corporate marketers.
