Successful Virtual EMVA Business Conference
"Very well done! A major undertaking under difficult circumstances but a great success!
I always get great value from EMVA events and this was no exception" – Arwyn Roberts, Surface Inspection.
"Very well organized, easy to connect, and informative" – Clemence Boudot, ATD Electronique, France.
"The online conference was very well organized with all the infrastructure and ample Internet bandwidth. In particular I think that following the industry standards and understanding the thinking behind them is a great opportunity. I was also grateful for the 1:1 networking opportunities. I look forward to continued participation" – David L. Fleischer, ADSR, Israel.
In a unique approach to combine webinar and personal online meeting functions, close to 60 face-to-face video meetings were booked during the conference breaks by the participants to bilaterally discuss business opportunities. A traditional feature of previous business conferences, this opportunity to directly interact with other conference participants was highly appreciated, as expressed by the following statement:
"Attending the seminars was made very easy. Personal interaction at 1:1 meetings was a great idea and enabled good discussions." – Christian Offermann, Kowa Optimed Deutschland, Germany.
The conference organizers were thrilled about the way this unique online conference concept, necessitated by the global pandemic, was adopted by the industry. "We not only happily donate the income from ticket sales for this event to the WHO COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund. In addition, we will also soon enable access to the presentations given in the Vision Knowledge Section on our website" says EMVA General Manager Thomas Lübkemeier and added with respect to classic conference setup: "While we are delighted with the highly positive feedback to this online event, we are also really looking forward to our next physical Business Conference which is scheduled to take place 10 – 12 June 2021 in Sofia, Bulgaria."
The EMVA is a not for profit organization, open to all, which is owned by its members who represent over 120 companies, institutes, and organizations, originating from within Europe, North America, and Asia. The association seeks to represent the interests of its members and promote the vision industry in general, but also encourage cooperation and standardization. The EMVA hosts several important standards used throughout the machine vision industry including the GenICam series used to provide a consistent, device independent interface to machine vision hardware, the EMVA1288 standard used for bench-marking performance of industrial cameras, and the newly initiated Open Optics Camera Interface (OOCI) standard which addresses the connectivity of camera lenses within a machine vision system, and the new emVISION initiative addressing standardization within embedded vision systems.
