Conference & Events Preview TESTED, AND AWARDED BY THE EXPERTS Whether it’s in the field of audio, video, photo, home entertainment, in-car or mobile electronics areas, the crème de la crème are recognised in Berlin at the EISA* Awards Ceremony on 4th September In a glittering gala evening that attracts the who’s who of the industry at the Kempinski Bristol Hotel, the annual EISA awards are presented – allowing manufacturers to highlight their most innovative products in the coming year across Europe and around the world. For 32 years, the prestigious awards have been the result of a unique, democratic, qualitybased selection by more than 50 independent experts in 20 European countries. Every year, the EISA Awards applaud the new products that combine the most advanced technology, the most desirable features, the ultimate expression of design, the most satisfying ergonomics and, of course, the greatest value for money. In short, EISA recognizes the features most likely to be appreciated by an enthusiast public seeking high quality and creative facilities. The association’s president, Jorge Gonçalves, explains that the concept of novelty had truly become a “movable target” since consumers put a very high level of pressure on manufacturers, almost imposing on them a constant cycle of launching more and more new products. He gave thanks to all the brands that “keep feeding our dreams and bringing permanently to the market new concepts in technology, design and usability that most of the times surpass anything that we could ever conceive in our wildest dreams.” For several years now, Cleverdis (publishers of IFA International) and EISA have been close partners, and this year is no exception. Senior members of EISA have participated actively in the compilation of Buyers’ Guides for a number of product categories in the consumer electronics field in IFA International. * EISA is the European Imaging and Sound Association Just Can’t Stop ShowStoppers Press event moves to new south entrance location due to hike in demand It’s THE not-to-be-missed media event at IFA, just like at a number of other top-line trade shows. Now in its 22 nd year globally, ShowStoppers is a global leader in producing press and business events spanning the US, Europe and Asia. Each event organizes product introductions, sneak previews and demonstrations for selected journalists, bloggers, industry and financial analysts, venture capitalists and business executives. Industry leaders, innovators and startups exhibit to help generate news coverage and product reviews, make new connections, promote brand, and open new markets. “We are expecting more than 60 companies to meet the press at ShowStoppers @ IFA 2015, making this the largest ShowStoppers event at IFA, ever”, states co-organiser Steve Leon. “We expect to match or exceed last year’s press attendance of more than 700 qualified/selected journalists, so we are moving the event to the South Entrance building. We’ve outgrown the space available in 14.2/15.2. That’s the simplest measure of success.” Exhibitors this year include (but are not limited to): B&O Play / Beyerdynamic / Cambridge Silicon Radio (CSR) / DJI / D-Link / Findbox / GN Hearing / Griffin Technology / Honeywell / Intel / Jabra / Labworks / Microsoft / Netatmo Oaxis / Olloclip / Parallels / Plantronics / Primera / Pure / Qardio / Seagate / Sennheiser / Shenzhen Medica Technology Development / Skullcandy / Steelmate / Toshiba / Wacom / Yubico / Zound – Marshall / ZTE Devices 3 Sept. 2015, 6 pm ShowStoppers @ IFA 2014 ShowStoppers@IFA 2013 Exhibit space for ShowStoppers@IFA 2015 is limited and contracts quickly.
