Imago to hold AV in the City event

Distributor claims resellers are welcome to this year's show

Video communications distributor Imago is holding a reseller event at this year’s AV in the City exhibition.

Usually the AV in the City show is a reseller-free zone, but attendees to Imago’s VAR event will gain access to the exhibition.

Ian Vickerage, managing director of Imago, said: “VARs are not allowed to attend AV in the City because it is an end-user only show, but the ones we invite to our reseller event will also have access to AV in the City.”

Imago’s event is open to its existing resellers as well as new VARs who are interested in video communications. “We will be exhibiting products and providing information on telepresence, IPTV and videoconferencing,” Vickerage added. “The aim of the day will be to educate resellers.”

The event takes place on 2 May at the East Wintergarden in Canary Wharf.

“If VARs contact us and prove that they have a serious interest in video communications, then we’ll invite them along,” Vickerage said.

However, Roland Dreesden managing director of AV integrator Reflex, did not welcome the idea of other resellers at the show.

“It is a shame because the whole idea of AV in the City is that it is an end-user event,” he said.
