Seminars and presentations followed a Russian band playing blues and rock through an APG sound system kicked off 25th anniversary celbrations for Russian entertainment technology specialist and APG integration partner, Doka Centre.
These were followed by practical workshops, along with demos on themes and products seen the previous day. The event culminated with a gala dinner complete with laser light show and pyrotechnics display.
With offices in both Moscow and St Petersburg, Doka Center is one of Russia’s most successful systems integrators specialising in major projects all across Russia, in particular in the theatre, conferencing, cultural centre and education markets.
Attendees came from all over Russia, and included lighting designers, customers and A/V consultants, who were given presentations by specialists on themes pertinent to the integration market, including a presentation from APG’s Xavier Pion on the company and the new generation of APG products. This was followed up with a practical workshop and demos on SMX15, DX12 and DX15 from APG Product Specialist, Mathieu Delquignies.
‘It was a fantastic event,’ reports Pion, ‘and one in which we were delighted to participate. Doka ran the whole thing completely professionally, and then in true Russian style, Russian vodka flowed freelay at the gala dinner. It was a great opportunity for us to get to know our partners at Doka a bit better – and vice versa, of course – and at the same time we made a lot of new and valuable contacts at the heart of the Russian systems integration community.
‘The amount of business we are doing with Doka has increased considerably over the past 12 months. In fact, we have already doubled last year’s figures. Doka is doing a great job and our partnership is growing steadily. I am looking forward to having even more good news over the months and years to come.’
