More from the Stockholm Waterfront Congress Centre:
Mediatec was the technology event sponsor at this year’s “Gyllene Hjulet”, held on 29th March. The client, The Swedish Sponsorship and Event Association, recognised seven organisations for their various actions. Mediatec delivered a total solution of light, sound and video. During the celebration of the winners, artists like Orup and Veronica Maggio performed in front of a lively audience.
Mediatec was thrilled to hear that Volvo Car Corporation saw off competitors BMW and SMART to win “The Creativity” prize at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show. Mediatec is Volvos Car Corporations leading technology partner at global Motor Shows world over.
A part of the motivation from the Prize Committee as follows:
The integration of the three main LED screens that were visible from every angle in the exhibition hall and also in the connectivity room, were perfect. A sheltered room allowed visitors to utilise and experience new technologies in an intelligent way.
Anouk Poelman, President of Volvo Cars Switzerland said - "We are extremely happy and honoured to receive the Creativity Award for the very first time here in Geneva. Congratulations to all who have worked on developing the concept and to those who built the stand. It is a tremendous acknowledgement to them all!"
Mediatec Group is one of Europe’s largest corporations working with technical solutions for event and television productions. Our idea is to supply the right technology and to make sure everything works.
