With Evolv Express, guests at Milwaukee’s
premier performing arts space experience a frictionless, safe, and
fast entry experience
Evolv Technology (NASDAQ: EVLV), the leader in weapons detection
security screening, today announced a partnership with the Marcus
Performing Arts Center in Milwaukee, WI. With Evolv’s
state-of-the-art Evolv Express® screening solution, visitors can
now walk right into the venue without any unwelcome delays at the
entrance.
The Marcus Performance Arts Center (Marcus Center) is a
gathering place for the community. The largest Marcus Center venue,
Uihlein Hall, provides the stage for everything from touring
Broadway shows to nationally and internationally acclaimed artists,
as well as a place for local artists and theater companies to
perform. With today’s announcement, the audience can get to their
seats faster, thanks to an entry process that can screen up to
3,600 people per hour.
“Evolv has completely transformed our audiences’ experience,”
said Jayson Wasielewski, Director of Security at Marcus Performing
Arts Center. “Audience members are able to enter our venue with
ease and get to their seats quickly.”
Evolv Express uses powerful sensor technology with proven
artificial intelligence (AI) to provide safer, more accurate threat
detection at unprecedented volume and speed. The technology enables
guests to walk through the system side-by-side without removing
items from their pockets or bags.
“The Marcus Performing Arts Center works to bring people
together with its programming,” said Peter George, CEO of Evolv
Technology. “With our partnership, the Marcus Center’s audience
members can turn their attention to the experience and enjoy the
performance.”
Audiences first experienced Evolv Express when Hamilton was
presented at the Marcus Center in October of 2021. Broadway at the
Marcus Center continues into 2022 with performances of Mean Girls
in January, Pretty Woman in March, and Cats in May, among other
shows. The Marcus Center is also home to the Milwaukee Ballet
Company, Florentine Opera Company, and the Milwaukee Youth Symphony
Orchestra.
Wasielewski continued, “In addition to the audience experience,
the Evolv Express has significantly improved our internal
operations, enabling right-sized staffing.”
