Spring! That time of the year when the annual Pan-European Kramer Seminar is held. This year the gathering took place in Aranjuez, Spain.

This beautiful little town on the outskirts of Madrid was the setting for the conference, which drew one hundred delegates from all of Kramer Electronics’ European and African offices. Bruce Genricks (Managing Member) and I represented South Africa on this three-day seminar.

“Quality and service aren’t expensive, they’re priceless.” These words are quoted by Steve Maree, and are truly endorsed by Hillcrest Primary School.

Hillcrest Primary School in KZN is embracing the use of cutting edge technology in the classroom. This is to ensure that educators have the latest hi-tech tools available for delivering excellent lessons.

Every year at ISE Crestron hosts a sub-conference for its distributors. Delegates get the opportunity to learn about organisational changes, get sneak previews of products in the pipeline, and to network with international colleagues. Crestron also uses the event to reward distributors for their commitment in various sectors of the industry.

You’ve all been there. You’ve burned the midnight oil, you’ve scoured the internet for graphics and you’ve designed yourself a hotshot PowerPoint presentation with animation and embedded clips. But no one knows where to plug in the thingy at the whatchamacallit in the client’s boardroom. The PA knows all about water carafes and peppermints, and the IT-guy is on a course. So everyone ends up huddling around your laptop, no-one is really that impressed with your presentation and you end up losing the sale.
