Vivien was judged by the following criteria: Innovation/Uniqueness, Impact on the Meetings Industry, and Completeness of Concept. This prestigious award includes a booth at the EIBTM 2005 show in Barcelona, Spain, where Cast Software can be found on stand D258 from 29 November - 1 December.
"We are honored that our software contribution to the event and meetings industry has been recognized by EIBTM. This award also suggests that our peers have great confidence in the direction we are heading and in our ability to provide extraordinary design solutions that meet the needs of event planners and designers," says Gilray Densham, president & CEO of Cast Software.
Vivien has also impressed members of an international committee, including Corbin Ball, CMP of Corbin Ball Associates, who stated, "This product, originally an Emmy-award winning product developed for theatrical events, has been rewritten for meetings and events industries providing near photo-realistic "3-D" depictions of meeting rooms, special events and exhibit booths. Advanced room diagramming products such as this help "sell the dream", by creating realistic images of what the event will look like. It is only by diagramming to scale can one know exactly what the room will look like. Other innovations in the product include full CAD import/export capabilities, inventory of equipment used and layering of the room set equipment to assist with the work process and room resets. This product offers significant benefits to meeting planners, show producers, exhibit managers and event facility managers."
