RAI Amsterdam ready for the future with two permanent AV partners

Thursday, 29 August 2024
RAI Amsterdam this week sealed the cooperation with its two permanent audiovisual partners, ACS audiovisual solutions and Faber. This partnership will allow the RAI to ensure its AV services are even better aligned with the wishes and needs of its organisers and exhibitors in the future.

The demand for audiovisual products and facilities within the event industry has changed considerably over the years. Technological developments are advancing in quick succession and market expectations are constantly changing. To respond to this, RAI Amsterdam issued a tender to the market.

“Besides the submission of our trusted partner ACS audiovisual solutions, we looked in detail at the offer and specific features of the other applicants. Based on our assessment, and the wishes and needs from the market, two suppliers allow us to respond even better to the (future) expectations of our guests,” said Bart van der Heijden, Director Events at RAI Amsterdam.

“I am happy to announce that we will continue our long-standing partnership with ACS audiovisual solutions. Faber, an international partner in audiovisual services has already been involved in several events at the RAI in recent years. This cooperation between the RAI, ACS and Faber focuses on realising added value throughout the event and creating experiences for both RAI Amsterdam, our organisers, RAI’s own public and trade events and exhibitors,” says van der Heijden.

Cooperation with ACS
ACS began as a (technical) department of RAI Amsterdam over 40 years ago. After a management buy-out in 2004, ACS continued its cooperation with the RAI as a permanent partner for all audiovisual and conference IT related services. In addition, ACS continued to supply its signature concept for realising temporary conference/session rooms for both RAI Amsterdam, its organisers, RAI’s own public and trade events and exhibitors.

Jessica Ylstra, Managing Director ACS audiovisual solutions comments: “I am very proud that ACS has grown along with the new developments and has been able to convincingly place this in the limelight at RAI Amsterdam. Years of experience have given ACS a solid position within the national and international conference and meeting industry. In particular, our expertise in the field of temporary room construction for large conferences is unique in Europe. These are aspects that have great added value not only for our international customers, but also for the RAI.”

New partnership with Faber

In 80 years, Faber has grown from a regional rental company to a leading international partner in audiovisual services. In recent years, Faber has been involved in several events at the RAI. This partnership has strengthened the collaboration, opening up new opportunities for the RAI and its customers.

“We are greatly looking forward to this cooperation, where we can use our innovative and creative solutions. At Faber, we offer a complete service solution, including high-end equipment rental, technical design and supervision, as well as creative services such as stage design and content creation. We embrace innovation and bring this with the passion and energy you have come to expect from us, and look forward to exploring new opportunities together”, said Jeroen Jongenelen - International Sales Director of Faber.
