Ifa 2009 contInUes tradItIonal partnershIps wIth the retaIlers’ cooperatIVes electronIcpartner, eUronIcs InternatIonal, expert, telerIng and eK/serVIcegroUp BacK In force The leading retailers’ cooperatives will be continuing their traditional partnerships at IFA 2009. They have achieved their aim of ensuring that the world’s leading trade show for consumer electronics and home appliances now reflects the interests of cooperating retailers to an even greater extent. The entire range from both sectors is now available to specialist retailers at a single location. The retailers’ cooperatives are also closely involved in the planning of the International Trade Visitors’ Centre and the various discussion forums at IFA. The services provided by the cooperatives and IFA for visiting retailers are rounded off by a number of special packages for trade visitors from Germany and from around the world. This will help to ensure that IFA provides a common, professional platform for the worldwide consumer electronics and home appliance sectors, as well as serving as an exhibition and convention venue where the trade can meet and place orders. This combination of the two sectors gives retailers and trade visitors access to an unprecedented diversity of products and services. IFA has entered into a strategic partnership with EURONICS International. EURONICS International EURONICS International, under the leadership of EURONICS Deutschland eG, will have its own display area at IFA 2009, presenting the goods, services and shop concepts that are available from the international EURONICS sales organisations.

trade news the reseller Park at IFa ProFessIonal “hub” In our preview edition, we already had a quick tour of some of the key exhibitors at the Reseller Park at IFA. In this edition, we asked Jan Nintemann, initiator of the Park, to give us some more detail about who we might find at this BtoB platform. In addition to the mobile specialists we mentioned in your last edition, traditional CE / IT segments are present at the Reseller Park, such as Creative Labs (Sound) and Aver Media (PC Multimedia environment). Aver Media is one of the leaders in design and production of digital multimedia products for future TV solutions. Furthermore, accessory specialists like Bandridge from the Netherlands, operating in 55 countries and ambitions to now expand into the German market will surely have a lot to offer for specialist dealers. Another product field is represented by Lexar in the Reseller Park-Business Lounge who is worldwide at the forefront of memory products. Represented with a bigger booth at Reseller Park, Kodak will introduce their innovations in the imaging market, offering end consumers, business clients and professionals customerfriendly and unlimited possibilities for the handling of photos and videos. Highlights are digital frames with integrated rechargeable batteries, the new pocket video camera Kodak Zi8 as well as the new digital cameras Kodak EasyShare Z950 and M381. Particularly interesting is the launch of their new all-in-one-inject printers ESP 3250 and ESP 5250; an enlargement of Kodak’s portfolio offering quality, performance and an attractive price. There are plenty more exhibitors and media partners participating in this year’s Reseller Park – this makes it definitely worth a visit! The Reseller Park is again this year in hall 9, where the main theme is Communication with emphasis on Mobile and Navigation. Nevertheless, the Reseller Park represents the whole basket of goods for CE at IFA. The focus is definitely the trade visitor. Our attractive niche defines itself as an exclusive market place in the field of B2B(2C) with the aim to optimise communication between business associates, vendors and customers, suppliers and marketers and also between the press and customers. Especially in times of critical economic constraints the need for conversations increases and gains in importance. This is also something that the Reseller Park provides the exhibitors and trade visitors with – lots of expert discussion!
