THE EXHIBITION
International Exposure and Local Recognition
International companies like Barco, Christie, Digital Projection, Panasonic, Sony, Logitech, and more exhibited alongside homegrown ones like AOTO, BOE, Tencent, Leyard, Dingtalk, Taiden, and Vtron, among others. While international brands engaged with their Chinese counterparts and market, local brands engaged with solution-seekers keen to apply their products and solutions in the international space, paving the way for more Chinese brands to receive worldwide exposure.

This effective mix of global and local presence among exhibitors and visitors provided a broader dimension and vibrance to the annually anticipated Show, which has not only helped organizational end-users take big strides towards growth, but also spurred strategic collaborations among innovative industry players, thereby facilitating the advancement of the Pro-AV and Technology industry.

Many of my colleagues attended the Summit and learned a lot.”
