Top-class speaker Lutz Wagner inspired the audience with an exciting keynote speech, while Mike Blackman, Managing Director of ISE (Integrated Systems Europe), opened the S14 Solutions Day with in-depth insights into current trends in the global AV industry. Another highlight was the innovative keynote speech by Frank Bielefeld on the topic of digital signage. In this, he demonstrated how modern customer communication can be successfully implemented in companies. Moreover, new key factors such as increased productivity and employee recruitment are becoming increasingly important, driven by the use of digital signage and contributing to successful implementation for customers. In addition to the appropriate content, the newly established competence team plays a crucial role for Exertis.

"The S14 in the MHP Arena was an outstanding event that was characterized by the intensive cooperation and exchange between all participants," says Mike Hommel, Marketing Director DACH and S14 Project Manager. "We would like to thank all manufacturers, customers, colleagues and partners for their commitment and participation. Their contribution was crucial to the success of S14. It was also important to me to combine the values of home and solidarity, which are so important to us, with sporting values – according to our manufacturers and the feedback from our customers so far, we have succeeded well."

Intensive and valuable discussions between customers, Exertis AV experts and manufacturer representatives took place in the informal atmosphere of the MHP Arena. These enabled customized project consultations, promoted innovations and showed new approaches to solutions. Specialist dealers, integrators and technicians were able to take valuable ideas and new impulses home with them. The manufacturers also once again demonstrated their great enthusiasm for the S14 as the AV industry’s central networking platform. At the same time, the AVIXA specialist planner meeting took place in the MHP Arena, which was attended by numerous specialist planners.

"The S14 has once again proven how important it is to present innovative ideas and solutions in an inspiring environment," added René Schülein Managing Director DACH at Exertis AV. "We are proud of the great response and the high quality of the expert discussions and would like to thank everyone involved for their great support."

Special thanks go to our manufacturers, customers and partners for their commitment and participation. The MHP Arena Stuttgart provided the perfect setting for the S14.
