Exhibitor Testimonials

The MEDIA-TECH showcase in Long Beach will be another great networking event where you get all the latest on our fast moving industry in a nutshell. We expect the HD DVD / Blu-ray topic to be particularly hot this year, especially as the U.S. launch of both formats is just a few months old and production is being ramped up quickly here.
[Ulrich Kyas, Product Manager, Basler Vision Technologies]
"In this rapidly changing industry, MEDIA-TECH Showcase & Conference is a welcome marketplace to present - outside of the annual MEDIA-TECH Expo - our new developments and advancements to a high-class audience and, at the same time, to get an idea of where the market is heading. The Showcase gives us the unique chance of personally meeting all the decision makers of the industry"
[Michael Marks, Kamann Maschinenfabrik GmbH & Co. KG,]
"We come to MediaTech Showcase to show our products and increase the awareness of the importance of quality. We see MediaTech Showcase as a perfect mix of exhibition and high level seminar that should attract a crowd interested to learn more as well as those planning for investment in the new formats. We will show products for the blue laser formats as well as our new DVD 4x tester and give a presentation about production control of blu laser media."
[Annika Falk, Market Communication, AudioDev]
