Once again, Zippin is recognized for our commitment to innovation in the sports industry. Zippin is thrilled to be named finalist for “Best in AI”  in Sports Business Journal (SBJ) Sports Tech Awards. This nomination highlights Zippin Outdoors, a creative approach to checkout-free technology designed for outdoor and temporary venues, showcasing our dedication to helping operators unlock new value. 

This recognition is part of a growing legacy of accolades from SBJ. In 2022, we earned Best Innovation in Sports Technology and were named one of the Top 10 Most Innovative Sports Tech Companies. In 2023, we were honored as a finalist in the Venue Operations Technology category and Technology Executive of the Year. This year’s nomination further cements Zippin’s leadership, not only in sports but in customer-focused innovation across industries. Zippin Outdoors was also acknowledged as a finalist for Customer Experience Excellence by the RTIH Innovation Awards.

With the development of Zippin Outdoors, an entirely new solution purpose-built for outdoor use, Zippin unlocked a number of new market segments for teams, leagues, and operators that conduct outdoor events or traveling events. You will soon see a variety of new markets able to embrace checkout-free shopping for their fans. Without Zippin Outdoors, checkout-free technology would have been impossible for many of these segments. Zippin Outdoors proves the flexibility of checkout-free technology and just how fast new stores can deploy. (Not long ago, operators believed these stores could only be deployed during the off-season.) 

Zippin's advancements are driven by our unwavering focus on creating value for operators in addition to delivering fast, frictionless shopping experiences. Being consistently recognized year after year is a testament to Zippin’s ability to push the boundaries of what’s possible in sports and retail technology. Whether it’s through applying AI for greater efficiency, enabling seamless transactions, or delivering solutions for challenging environments, Zippin continues to lead the way in transforming the live sports experience.
