Christie recently celebrated their tenth year at Mediatech, during Mediatech Africa
2015.
Phil Lord, former Teritory Manager Africa, said that the growth over the last two
shows has been amazing and that the professional AV exhibitors have invested a lot
more in Mediatech Africa 2015.
“There has been a major shift from shell schemes to whole stands with many of the
other exhibitors. I have also noticed a lot more European manufacturers at the
show this time,’ he said.
“This is a one-of-a-kind show in South Africa and though we attend various trade
shows globally, Mediatech is the only South African trade show that Christie
attends.’
Lord noted that the traffic had been very well regulated at this year’s show, making
the general experience less chaotic at the stand.
“There was also a lot more exhibitors at the show this year, which made it well
worthwhile for visitors and gave it an international air.’
Christie focussed on their mid-range LCD and DLP projectors, as well as flat panels,
which is a new market for them.
“We have recently launched the Boxer 4K30, a powerhouse projector with
impressive, unrivalled brightness, making it designed for high-impact rental staging
and large venue events. It’s the brightest, lightest and smartest 30,000 lumen
projector and the most profit-focused professional projector on the market today,’
he said.
