The “Mondial Image Photo Son” Show - 2002

High Tech. Trade Show at Porte de Versailles, Paris.

The High Tech Life or Home Entertainment Trade Show, with an international vocation, is in the preparatory stages. Thanks to the success of the previous event, the organisers of the show (see our News of 2nd October 2000 and photo-report) which took place in September in the Parc des Expositions at Versailles, announcing the reopening of their doors from 22 to 26 March 2002 at the same place.

Unitim (The Union of Syndicates and Enterprises of Technology, Image, Sound and Multimedia) have chosen Comexpo Paris and their associates Sécession under the direction of Jean-Pierre Bourgeois, General Commissioner of the Exhibition, to create the first “Global” show for professionals and the public of this size in France.

Through this new amplitude, the MONDIAL IMAGE PHOTO SON is bound to become a major attraction for all the major players in the digital World.

Bringing together a very wide pallet of professionals, this new edition will bring together, on a larger space than the previous edition (Hall 7, for connoisseurs…) several electronics sectors for the general public, including:
- Image,
- Sound,
- Photography,
- and Multimedia...
Just like in the first edition, we’ll also find the main players in the Home Cinema field as well as that of High Fidelity sound.

According to latest whispers, three types of space are allotted to future exhibitors by the organisers: so-called “bare” space, equipped with room dividers, but accessible to visitors, and the “auditorium” version (special “phonically treated panels” on dividers and ceiling. The organisers are also innovating with an area they’ve named "Le ClubPro", dedicated to equipment and services for professionals.

A major novelty is also proposed – with a High Fidelity village being created, allowing visitors as well as exhibitors to benefit from a very quiet zone especially for demonstrations for sound buffs. According to the organisers, this principle allows them to avoid eventual sound nuisances brought about by Home Cinema demonstrations.

In addition, while the first session attracted a large number of visitors, the organisers hope this time to reach the 100,000 visitor mark, counting both professionals and the general public.

NB: Those professionals looking for more information about the event should contact Jean-Pierre Bourgeois for press, and David Roche and Alexandre Runtz for any enquiries regarding exhibitor relations, handled by the company Secession.
