Networking Opportunity
Networking remained a key focus for Canon at the event, as the team engaged with industry experts, AV consultants, and system integrators to strengthen both new and existing relationships. The platform also served as a strategic opportunity to highlight the Canon Pro-Imaging System Integrator Program, launched last year to support system integrators through technology integration, business performance recognition, and shared growth opportunities. Building on this, the Multicam Show, a series of immersive events held across various parts of Africa, further emphasized Canon's commitment to showcasing multicam solutions to partners. This program and initiative together enable partners to explore innovative solutions, drive business success, and stay ahead in a competitive market.
