Last month we held our annual Sahara Showcase at the beautiful Hanbury Manor in Hertfordshire. For the first time ever, on the final day we opened up the invitation to end users and new business, giving a new group of people the chance to experience Sahara's growing range of products first hand.
The Exhibition
The exhibition ran over two days, the 15th and 16th of October, with the main hall featuring stands from B-Tech, Casio, Hitachi, NEC, Neets, Panasonic, Sedao, TVONE, Vivitek and wePresent.
B-Tech used the Sahara showcase to launch our new System X range of products. Teaming up with Sedao, we showed how our digital signage solutions integrate together to create perfectly seamless multiscreen displays. Our BT8371-2x2 video wall trolley & modular rail system certainly highlighted the ease of install which end users will benefit from by using System X.
“The showcase was a well-attended & well organised event, with a structure designed to benefit all. B-Tech are certainly looking forward to the next one.”
Casio exhibited the XJ-V1 entry level lamp free projector at the show and pushed their current promotion of £50 trade in and £25 reseller cashback throughout the show. We also showed our XJ-UT310WN Ultra Short Throw projector which offers all the benefits of Casio in an UST chassis.
NEC Display Solutions showcased innovation in laser light source technology, bringing its expertise in Digital Cinema technology to a wider professional market with the new P502HL projector. With 5,000 ANSI lumens and no lamp replacement necessary, maintenance is not required and longevity is assured, delivering compelling benefits and a vastly reduced Total Cost of Ownership. The new laser projector was accompanied by NEC’s new UM352Wi ultra-short-throw projector with Multi-pen interactivity.
“The event was a great success and gave us many opportunities to network, explore new business opportunities and we even found time for some fun.”
