Ingram Micro’s Gerhard Schulz to deliver ISE keynote address

30 November 2011

Initiating a new addition to its line-up of pre-show activities, Integrated Systems Europe has revealed the content of its first-ever keynote address: ‘Blueprint for Business Growth in the Digital Age’.

On Monday 30 January 2012, Gerhard Schulz, Senior VP Central Europe, Ingram Micro, will unveil his vision for how the electronic systems integration community can respond to the challenges posed by the transition from analogue to digital.

In his ‘Blueprint for Business Growth in the Digital Age’, Schulz will demonstrate how Ingram Micro, the world’s largest technology distributor, has broadened its offering to become not just a supplier of products but a valued partner to manufacturers, integrators and resellers throughout the world. The lessons learned by Ingram Micro, Schulz will argue, have an irresistible resonance for the audiovisual industry as it confronts a networked future.

“The convergence between AV and IT is not an event on our horizon, but a contemporary reality that will be in evidence on almost every exhibitor stand at ISE 2012,” comments Mike Blackman, Managing Director, Integrated Systems Events.

“We searched long and hard to find the right voice to articulate the threats and opportunities posed by this convergence, and believe we have found the perfect partner in Gerhard Schulz."
