Greetings, and welcome to the autumn edition of AV Integration by Pro-Systems.

In the leadup to Africa’s largest tradeshow for the professional AV market, Mediatech Africa, we have featured some interesting insights about what to expect at this years’ show, being held at the Ticketpro Dome in Johannesburg between 17 and 19 July. AV integrator, Chaz Neilson, has prepared a fantastic article aimed at the first time buyer, which will equip your clients to make the best of Mediatech Africa 2017. Please visit the show’s website www.mediatech.co.za and invite your clients to attend. Registration is free of charge, and the show will offer an unmissable opportunity to demonstrate that a little money spent on AV today means saving a lot of money over the long run.

In this edition, we feature professional AV solutions for the leisure market, including digital signage installations at Emperors Palace, a smart lighting installation at The Javett Art Center at UP and projection at Khwa Ttu San Culture And Education Centre. We also spoke with the directors of Alpha Technologies about the company’s transformation into a leader in the Pro-AV sphere in SA and Syed-Abdul Wahab, the CEO of Mindstec Distribution about the company’s growing footprint in the African market. In addition, Bruce Genricks of Electrosonic SA spoke with us about how SMEs can access smart office technology to reduce operational costs and maximise productivity is our rapidly digitising world.

I look forward to seeing you at Mediatech Africa 2019 and hope that you enjoy the read.

Regards
David Cornwell and the AV Integration team
