"This program allows us to deliver one-on-one attention to customers in education, one of our most successful markets, to create incredibly personalized projects and experiences that will inspire other organizations for years to come," said Adam Schmidt, executive vice president at Planar, in a statement.

The program is available with all display tech projects. Registered customers will have access to special pricing; pre-sales individual installation design support; prioritized and dedicated tech support; and Planar Academy instruction.
