Pixis Pac-Man Drone Show Gobbles Up Win at 2024 Event Experience Awards

Pixis Drones continues to add to its growing collection of top industry awards and honors - this time bringing home the gold in the Best Use of Event Technology category at the 2024 BizBash Event Experience Awards for its thrilling PAC-MAN SHINE ON 500-drone light show that brightened up the skies over New York City in October 2023. 

Working on behalf of client Bandai Namco, the winning drone light show put a 21st Century charge into one of the greatest and most beloved video game heroes of all time - and in the process, helped Bandai launch a new game in the franchise and kick off a new initiative designed to put the IP back into the minds of gamers around the world.

The show utilized state-of-the-art drone technology but was also a sneak preview into what the future holds for this incredible medium. The crowd unleashed oohs and ahs at each new formation, from the giant PAC-MAN moving through the Manhattan sky to the lovingly accurate recreation of gameplay from the 1980s classic arcade game that is still beloved by all ages and generations today.

Now in its 11th year, the Event Experience Awards is held annually to celebrate the best in experiential marketing and acknowledge those breaking new ground at the intersection of creativity and technology.
