Advisory Board

The purpose of the Videotel Digital Advisory Board is to provide a direct connection between Videotel Digital’s engineering team and those who use our products on a day-to-day basis. We find it invaluable to get their insights and feedback on existing products based on real-time usage, share challenges that new products could address, react to new product ideas, and potentially beta-test prototypes.
