Put the dates for next year in your diary now!
After a triumphant return to the Farnborough International Exhibition Centre, EI rounds up just some of the reactions to the UK’s only smart home and luxury AV trade show. Phil Wildman, Technical Sales Consultant at Sy Electronics, offers, “Thanks to the EI Live! Show organisers, who once again smashed it out of the park with the 2022 event. This was a fantastic show, which we were glad to be part of. We were able to show off the many benefits and extra functions that SY products possess, via both spoken word explanation and by using our show stand media displays. “This type of show offers the chance to speak face-to-face with our customers, both old and new. Everyone likes to meet up in person, and once again we met up with many new system integrators, as well being able to parlè with our old friends. Our Xcalibur product range drew particular attention due to its unique feature set, along with our new range of extenders and switchers with USB connectivity.” The industry’s key distributors are always a big feature of the show and Pulse Cinemas took an innovative approach, offering business and life coaching on their stand, as well as insight into the company’s exclusive Dream Engine VR experience - designed to enable installers and customers to gain a clearer understanding of how systems work and what they will eventually look like. Company MD, Mike Beatty, says, “We had a great show meeting many old friends and making new ones. Our main thrust at the show

was to encourage installers to come and visit our recently revamped HQ, which offers world class demonstration facilities designed to inspire and drive sales. Our Open Day initiative has been a huge success, giving installers the opportunity to interact with our whole team and really understand how we can create next level home cinema and automation systems together. If you haven’t attended one already get in contact and choose your preferred date.” Distributor Invision returned with a large presence at the event. With Mark Taylor, Commercial Director, stating, “We were delighted to be back in Farnborough for this year’s EI Live! It was great to see so many integrators and industry colleagues
while showing them what Invision has to offer. I would like to thank EI, our manufacturer partners, and of course the team for making the show a success.” Peter Alloway, Head of UK Business Development, adds, “I love a show! Nothing beats the opportunity to talk to our customers face-to-face and for them to get hands on with the products. This year, we had some of the first HDBaseT 3.0 products on our stand available from Pulse-Eight and to be able to show these new products first-hand is exciting and what our industry is all about. We’d like to thank everyone who supported us; it was great to see so many familiar faces but also to meet some new colleagues too.”
The stands enjoyed good high-quality traffic
