Joint conference format with AIMMA and IDDA
The MEDIA-TECH Association is pleased to announce its next event: The MEDIA-TECH Conference, March 4-5, 2008 in Miami, Florida. “This will be the only US event for 2008,” says Association Managing Director, Bryan Ekus, “as the equipment show returns to Germany in May.” For all three organizations the March timing is conducive to the decision making process for new equipment in the year.
For the first time, the event will be a joint one, organized with partners AIMMA (American Independent Media Manufacturers Association) and IDDA. (International Disc Duplicating Association (IDDA). “We are delighted that these important industry bodies, who have worked with us before, will be more involved in this important industry event,” says Ekus. The conference will follow the proven two-day format with presentations from industry experts, offering attendees the opportunity to keep abreast of emerging trends and challenges in media manufacturing. There will also be a Lounge and Table Top Showcase Area for meetings, providing the all-important ability for attendees to network with colleagues and customers. “Our groups have been successfully working together for several years now and we look forward to arranging the conference together with the MEDIA-TECH Association,” says Bernhard Kirschner, IDDA President. “The US market is an important one for our members, and this should prove to be an excellent event.”
Ray Zerrusen as president of AIMMA, adds: “With Miami as the venue, we are certain to attract delegates from the domestic US market, both East and West Coast, as well as many international attendees. This partnership offers our member base a great opportunity to stay on top of the issues surrounding media manufacturing.” AIMMA will invite all members for a member meeting during the conference.
“Feedback from our members indicates that a dedicated conference will make the best use of their time,” says Ekus. “In addition to the opportunity for companies to discuss their products, this two-day conference format, particularly with the input from AIMMA and IDDA, will be the best way of helping to present new trends and technology in this ever-changing industry.”
Following the success of the MEDIA-TECH Showcase & Conference 2007 in Barcelona, Spain, the Association will chose again a hotel for the conference and Table Top Showcase.
