6. Autonomous Wheels by Wheel.me
Wheel.me’s autonomous wheels were a game-changer for the AV world. These wheels can be attached to any road case, making venue load-ins and load-outs faster and more efficient. Watching them in action on the CES floor was an impressive sneak peek into how tech can simplify the logistics of events. It’s exciting to think how innovations like these could further enhance the attendee experience and redefine what’s possible in live events.
