CENTEGIX, an IoT company dedicated to innovating technology to save and enrich lives, was named a finalist and earned 2nd place honors in the 2020 Future of Education Technology® Conference Pitchfest. The FETC Pitchfest competition, now in its third year, has gained a reputation as the leading pitch event in the edtech space, offering a national audience for some of the most exciting emerging technologies in education.
CENTEGIX presented its CrisisAlert™ solution, which enables teachers and staff to request assistance and implement emergency protocols from anywhere. We empower everyone with a badge to push a button and get help.
Alysse Daniels, Head of National Accounts for CENTEGIX, presented on behalf of the company. “As a former educator and cabinet-level school administrator—and someone who experienced multiple crisis-level incidents in the classroom—I have a personal connection to how, in a moment of crisis, every second matters. I know how important it is to get help immediately,” said Daniels.
A panel of judges comprised of industry professionals evaluated pitches based on creativity, potential, impact on education, functionality, and the team behind the innovation. This was CENTEGIX’s first year in the competition.
Matthew Stevens, CEO of CENTEGIX, said, “It is an honor to be selected to participate in this exciting event. We are humbled to receive this recognition of the incredible work that the entire CENTEGIX team has accomplished to innovate technology to save lives and enrich the learning environment.
