Products, solutions and platforms for the New and the Next Normal
On 19 May, the International Channel Trends+Visions will take place as the fourth completely virtual event of The Technology Provider. In addition to a variety of presentations, webinars and discussion rounds in the 24 participating countries, visitors can expect a whole series of top-class speakers at the central events, including representatives of Epson, HP and Microsoft. Another highlight will be a live tour of HPE's Innovation Centre in Geneva at 11 am. Visitors can also expect a cinematic world premiere as part of the "50 Global Leaders" documentary series developed with Bloomberg.
"We are very pleased about the great interest shown by the vendors. In addition to all the well-known manufacturers in our industry, many new companies with interesting products and services are represented, too. Particularly impressive for me are the more than 300 individual formats in which our employees, partly together with the vendors, present new products, technologies and business models to the CTV visitors. The focus is on faster orders, more efficient processes and higher profitability, always with the goal of a responsible and sustainably successful development of our industry," says Gustavo Möller-Hergt, CEO of ALSO Holding AG (SIX: ALSN).
The breadth of topics ranges from Artificial Intelligence to accessories, from Data Centre to IoT solutions. A complete overview can be found at www.alsoctv.com. There, interested visitors can register for the cost-free event and plan their day at the fair.
