The Radisson Blu Resort Goa Cavelossim Beach traded its holiday atmosphere for one of hi-tech visualization and industry-leading projection. Throughout an action-packed two-day event, Barco offered its local business partners a series of workshops and hands-on product demos. "Staying abreast in a fast-evolving industry is not always easy," says Mandar Gupte, Barco E&C sales director. "Hence we took this opportunity to give our business partners a comprehensive overview of recent trends and new product launches."
Barco along with High End Systems turned the venue into a blank canvas onto which several of its newest solutions could shine. An impressive lighting set-up immersed the conference room in a fitting ambience. Local business partner Star Dimensions India Pvt Ltd helped create the lighting installation provided the necessary equipment as well as onsite support during the event.
Barco's onboard partner and national distributor for corporate AV projectors, Green Sources Pvt Ltd was the major force behind the event's success. They actively supported Barco in inviting the partners from all over the country. GSPL engineers helped Barco during the installation of the complete set-up.
Barco national distributor CEECO Technologies also came forward to support Barco with demo ClickShare units, installations and on-site support.
Participants were greeted with an advanced 3D projection mapping display featuring Barco's PJWU-101B - the brightest single-chip DLP projector on the market. The content for this projection mapping was developed by Montie Paul (W Productions). Another definite eye-catcher was the HDX-W18 FLEX 3-chip DLP projector that was used to relay all presentations to the venue's main screen.
Following the opening address by Lutz Nerhoff, managing director at Barco India, the afternoon of 25 June was filled with presentations on the various Barco product ranges. Participants got comprehensive introductions to several of Barco's industry-leading solutions, including its corporate projectors, collaboration tools and venues and hospitality portfolio. Day One was concluded with a lively panel discussion on the key challenges the entertainment and corporate visualization industries currently face.
The second day of the meeting put the participants in control as they were offered a choice of hands-on product demos.
