NexTech AR Solutions Corp (OTCQB:NEXCF) (NEO:NTAR) (FRA:N29) has reached a deal to become a preferred channel partner of Strategic Site Selection, a firm that secures venues and hotels for its industry and association clients’ meetings and events.
As an SSS preferred channel partner, NexTech will work directly with clients to create events that bridge the physical and the virtual, while also providing a safe, inclusive and convenient setting for global attendees.
NexTech’s Virtual Experience Platform (VXP) combines AR/3D product modeling, human holograms, enterprise-scale streaming services and customized language packs. This provides a solution for SSS clients looking to shift their conferences, meetings and events online during the coronavirus pandemic and in the new digital age.

“Over the past year, the event planning industry has been turned upside down and we quickly identified a need to pivot to virtual and hybrid models in order to continue providing best-in-class services to meet our clients’ needs,” SSS CEO Mark Dosman said in a statement. “Bringing in NexTech AR as a preferred partner was a no-brainer — their team shares our commitment to innovation and first-class customer service — we’re thrilled to offer their platform to our clients and believe it will be a great fit for those looking to pivot to virtual and hybrid events moving forward.”
The SSS team has already undergone training workshops on NexTech’s VXP and AR offerings to better understand how the company’s solutions can serve new and existing clients, the company said.
“We’re very excited to be named one of Strategic Site Selection’s channel partners and look forward to introducing their growing portfolio of clients to the game-changing power of our augmented reality for virtual events,” said Evan Gappelberg, CEO of NexTech AR. “Our VXP does more than just host virtual events, we customize each event to reflect the client and industry’s needs and deliver features other providers do not, including AR holograms, language translation and live streaming capabilities.”
NexTech has more than C$10 million in quotes in the market, Gappelberg said, and the company expects 2021 to be a breakout year. In the past, the company has won clients including Amazon, Bell Canada, UNESCO, Dell Technologies Inc (NYSE:DELL), Luxottica, Vulcan Inc, Boehringer Ingelheim, TEDx, Grundfos and Arch Insurance.
“This trend of winning large accounts is being solidified through our partnership with SSS, who has already established strong relationships based on their reputation of aligning with trusted partners who deliver,” Gappelberg said. “We’re excited to work with their clients to build unique, customized and engaging virtual experiences.”
