Bissell – Carsten Ritter, International Account Manager D/A/CH:
“We are very pleased that the IFA has taken the special circumstances this year as an opportunity to develop an innovative and attractive event concept. The #IFAGlobalPressConference enables BISSELL to present its product innovations to a top-class international audience. With the IFA innovations we are taking our portfolio for the European market to a new level and now hold the largest variety of floor cleaning solutions in the segment. These include the ‘CrossWave Cordless Max’ as the next generation of our multi-award-winning vacuum cleaner and the ‘SpinWave Robot’ as the first wet & dry vacuuming robot from BISSELL.”
Fitbit – Michael Maier, Cluster Manager Central Europe:
„We are very excited to be part of the IFA Special Edition this year. During these unprecedented times, we all need to find new ways to launch our products and I am glad that IFA gives us the opportunity to let people experience the new Fitbits in a safe environment before they are available on shelves. Fitbit just introduced its most advanced health smartwatch, Fitbit Sense, which comes with the world’s first EDA sensor for stress management, an ECG app and skin temperature sensor.”
JVCKENWOOD Deutschland GmbH – Thorsten Godulla, Managing Director:
„Especially in these difficult times, it is particularly important to provide positive impulses for retailers and consumers with innovative products and new technologies. As an important part of IFA2020, the Global Press Conference offers us the ideal platform to present JVC’s EXOFIELD technology and other product innovations from Kenwood and JVC to a broad public. During our product demonstration, interested members of the press have the opportunity to test our EXOFIELD Home Theater System live and experience real 3D-Sound via headphone.„
ReSoundGN Hearing – Jochen Meuser, Managing Director GN Hearing GmbH:
„For more than 150 years, it has been part of our company’s DNA to develop technological innovations that improve and expand communication. This is what made us a regular exhibitor at IFA. Of course, the event will be different than usual due to the current situation. We will use the IFA Special Edition to inform IFA journalists in person about our latest, multi-connected hearing aids.„
TP-Link – Pingji Li, VP & GM of TP-Link Consumer & Enterprise BU:
“Because of the pandemic, people’s lives have been dramatically changed. Smart living has really and truly become a part of the public’s daily life. So, it is great to see that IFA is going as planned. As the world’s largest brand of home networking products, TP-Link is committed to providing users with a more reliable and convenient Internet experience.
