As a business, we are committed to spotting trends and emerging technologies that can support the experiences we create in live environments. Our ultimate objective is to get more people engaging with and sharing the experiences we create – and it’s exciting to see how creative technologies are helping us to achieve this."

The launch of TROi is bolstered by the appointment of Emanuele Ceppelli, who joins TRO as creative technology director EMEA.
