Although this represented a slight 4% dip from its last presentation in 2008, exhibitors however noted the higher quality of visitors that attended the show. In their initial feedback, the exhibitors reported that the visitors they met at their booths displayed a keen interest in AV technologies, and were very focused in their search for information and suppliers. AV trade professionals, i.e. channel distributors, systems integrators and consultants, make up 54% of visitors. The other 46% are vertical market end-users from a broad cross section of industry sectors such as building, retail, entertainment, event management, banking and education. Among these vertical market end-users were a 103-member delegation from China comprising trade association members heavily involved in a variety of large-scale building projects across China. 43% of visitors came from Hong Kong and 30% from China; the rest came from 55 countries and regions, mostly from Taiwan, Korea, Japan, Southeast Asia and India. Said Ms Theresa Hahn, Director of Marketing for Verrex Corporation: "The show has been very good and exciting for us. We met people from different industries, and we're quite satisfied with the show traffic. The systems integrators and end users we met were mostly from Hong Kong, China and India. They were eager to learn about our products and solutions. We received much interest in representation." Verrex is new to Asia having just established an office in Hong Kong nine months earlier, and participated in InfoComm Asia "to introduce our brand in Asia". beyerdynamic, a frequent exhibitor in the infoComm series of events in Asia, was equally satisfied with their participation. "Visitor quality is good," said Area Sales Manager for Asia / Pacific / India, Mr Michael Kinzel. "We met a mix of existing and new customers, including systems integrators and consultants from China, the Philippines and India. They were very focused and showed great interest in our conferencing system and conference solutions. They seemed to be highly qualified people as they were able to understand our product technology and features very quickly." The InfoComm Asia 2010 Summit also generated much interest, with attendance running close to 850 for the Summit seminars and industry conferences. A new addition this year, the 2-day SynAudCon Workshop on Professional Sound System Design, was attended by 42 acoustics professionals.
