Behold the Two Integrators Who Shall Duel at ICC for the Build-a-Thon Crown!

Build-a-Thon Final Two graphic.

 

In this most epic of yearly Build-a-Thons, our 33 competitors have gallantly traversed the Lands of Ignition, faced monsters, and even befriended a dragon to reach the end of our challenges. Two competitors have made it through this intrepid journey ahead of all of the rest — only to find that their adventures have just begun. We look forward to seeing our final two, Barry-Wehmiller Design Group and Corso Systems, meet in glorious battle at ICC this September.

You may ask, we have our two champion companies, but what about the knights of the Build-a-Thon you have come to know so well? Do not fret, as Kent, Kevin, and I shall appear for the live event to provide sage guidance and droll commentary.

We wish to say a resounding “Thank You!” to all of our wonderful Premier Integrators that competed this year, and to the IA team members who helped create a challenge that shall be remembered throughout the ages forevermore!

This year’s Build-a-Thon has already been one for the history books and we can’t wait to see what Barry-Wehmiller Design Group and Corso Systems bring to the live event at ICC on Thursday, September 28th. Until then, my noble friends, stay on the path of innovation and keep thy Ignition knowledge as sharp as steel.
