Visitors to the coolux connect conference were treated to an inspiring variety of successful showcases and some more technologically-oriented presentations. According to the company, one of the most eagerly anticipated topics surrounding this year's conference was without doubt the recent news that Christie Digital Systems had acquired coolux GmbH. coolux CEO Jan Huewel, who will report to Jennifer Smith in his new position of senior director, processing solutions, was happy to be able to personally address so many international customers less than 48 hours after the official press release regarding the acquisition had been publicised. "The timing of our third coolux connect conference was a great coincidence. Obviously, we are looking forward to answering all possible questions at the upcoming ISE, but at the same time it was wonderful to be able to meet so many of our international customers right after the acquisition had been announced. All our activities are continuing as normal. This new situation means however, that we will be able to create a synergy between the two companies that will enable us to develop more effective products more rapidly." Dale Miller, executive vice president, global sales, was also present at the connect conference and welcomed the coolux community on behalf of Christie Digital Systems. The following companies supported this popular networking event: Christie Digital Systems, Burmester Event- und Medientechnik, Technocrane, Meyer Sound, Lightpower, zweiB, publitec, and Loop Light.
