BANGALORE: Global visualization leader Barco held its first-ever Partner Meeting in Bangalore, India on June 26 and 27 at Taj Vivanta, M. G. Road. Current Barco partners, as well as prospective partners, from all over India, were invited to Bangalore to discover Barco's latest innovations for projection and advanced visualization.
For Barco, the meeting was the ideal opportunity to establish itself as partner of choice for any professional visualization and collaboration application. Exhibited there were some of Barco's latest products, including input modules (e.g. the NGS-101), interfaces (e.g. the MCM-100s), display controllers (e.g. NGP-200), LCD video walls (e.g. the near-seamless MVD-5521), the wireless ClickShare presentation tool and the projection offering resulting from the recent acquisition of Norway's projectiondesign.
Elaborate program
On the first day, visitors had the possibility to attend presentations on Barco's strategy, the integration with projectiondesign, new developments in control room collaboration, digital signage and virtual reality, among others. The workshops were followed by product demonstrations. Key eye-catchers were the cutting-edge OBLX LCD video wall and the ClickShare presentation tool. To end the first seminar day, the partners gathered around the table for a nice, informal dinner. Day 2 was marked by a more in-depth look at some of the new products and technologies.
Making the trip
More than 100 representatives from various Indian companies were invited to the meeting. Also attending were Barco India's Managing Director Mr. Abel Garamhegyi, the local marketing team and all sales directors. Product Manager Andreas Friedrichsen and Guy Van Wijmeersch, Director Global Product Marketing made the trip from Barco's headquarters in Belgium to Bangalore.
Towards greater opportunities
Barco's partner meeting in Bangalore was quite similar to the one held earlier this year in Malta, albeit on a smaller scale. "We believe this was a great opportunity to educate our Indian partners on AVS, surveillance and network infrastructure, as well as introduce the Connect! partner program," says Vivekanand, Sales Director at Barco India. "Some local adaptations aside, the purpose of the program remains the same: to smoothen the cooperation between Barco partners worldwide and open the door to greater opportunities."
Mr. Abel Garamhegyi, Managing Director for Barco India, reflects on the importance of the meeting: "Thanks to the recent acquisitions, our product range is bigger than ever, from mid-range solutions all the way up to high-end systems. Barco is very proud to ensure our partners that we will take them along on this exciting ride. This whole event exists to make sure that they know all the possible advantages and solutions of our product portfolio, and help them get the most out of this collaboration."
