The new two-day format worked as this year's NEC Solutions Showcase had more than 1500 unique, an impressive 35% increase on last year's attendance.
Nearly half were end users who wanted to see end-to-end solutions and understand how these solutions might be applied to their specific needs.
"We have enjoyed an extremely successful 6th Showcase with very positive feedback from our partners who help make this such a unique event" says Simon Jackson, VP NEC Display Solutions. "The decision to extend to two days was certainly the right one when we consider the increase in attendees, it was always busy but not overcrowded. Other events running in parallel for the inaugural London Digital Signage Week were also well attended and we are delighted that Showcase has become the foundation to instil new developments, innovations and partnerships - driving the industry to yet greater achievement."
The event was held in The Velodrome in London's Olympic park where many participants added a Track Bike Experience to their AV tech experiences.
The event also supports the charity Sense: the AV industry dug deep to raise a significant amount of money for deaf-blind people and their families and raised awareness of the charity's work.
