I (Jan) Just attended the KLI AV show opening ceremony this morning. Here is our brief report.
I liked the introductory speech of the Yang Berbahagia Dato' Seri Rafidah Aziz (Minister of International Trade and Industry) on the activity of this sector Malaysia is clearly moving forward in the digital age, where audio-visual technology will more and more prominently take it's place. Things are happening over here and that can clearly by felt when you look at the amount of exhibitors on this AV Show.
Together with Mr. Dick Tan (of 3Dot Events Sdn. Bhd and the organizing Chairman of the KL International AV Show 2007) the event was officially opened.
The environment in which all this is going on is the J.W. Marriot Hotel Kuala Lumpur / Malaysia, as represented on the opening by Mr. Christian Bock, General Manager of the J.W. Marriot Hotel.
I must say that it is a very unique experience. There are hundreds big and small rooms with sound setups which will open your eyes to all kinds of HD-TV/AV/SOUND/VIDEO technology; waiting to be in your livingroom. The fact that this is done is hotelrooms and ballrooms makes it a very enjoyable and cozy event. It's not all noisy and crowded as you have on those big big fairs. Here you really get to enjoy the immersion in this the high quality sound and video of what might your next very own Home Theatre.
Here is the kick-off movie (official launch) :
