Taking place at Ascot Racecourse, Midwich’s Technology Exposed is not comparable to IFA or IBC, with which it shares a show month – but is aimed at an entirely different audience. The main attendees of Technology Exposed are trade resellers who often haven’t attended the larger European shows, so the products aren’t necessarily new to us. However, the event is fantastic for networking and meeting ‘the right people’: primarily product managers and buyers.
The Philips truck which had graced the 2012 and 2013 shows was noticeable by its absence this year, but as the weather was fairly dull this wasn’t necessarily a bad thing – there weren’t many volunteers to go outside! The quality of exhibitors is high, with Sony, Samsung, LG, Eizo, Optoma, Panasonic, Hitachi and Canon all taking space – to name just a few.
