Midsummer temperatures of just under 40 degrees did nothing to dampen the positive atmosphere: Around 100 dealers, specialist planners, and system integrators accepted Kindermann GmbH invitation Kindermann GmbH Xperience Day 2026 and enjoyed a varied day full of innovations, exciting insights, and personal exchanges. Under the theme “Transformation & Change,” the event combined technological trends with practical insights while also providing the perfect setting to celebrate the company’s 165th anniversary together.
Visitors had the opportunity to take a look behind the scenes at Kindermann. During guided tours of the production, logistics, and service areas, it became clear just how closely tradition, quality, and innovation are intertwined at the company’s site.
A particular highlight was the two keynote speeches by renowned industry experts. Mike Blackman, Managing Director of ISE, shed light on current developments in the international AV market. He highlighted which technologies are currently in particularly high demand and in which application areas the greatest growth is expected in the future. His insights provided participants with valuable guidance for future investments and market opportunities.
Raphael Gielgen, trend scout for “Future of Work, Life & Learn” at Vitra, focused on the profound transformation of our working world. With inspiring food for thought and compelling examples, he motivated his audience to question familiar ways of thinking and adopt new perspectives. His call to look beyond the horizon more often and view change as an opportunity resonated strongly with the participants.
The accompanying trade show was also very well received. Together with its partners Bose Professional, Legrand, LG, MAXHUB, Newline, Optoma, Sony, and Vogel’s, Kindermann showcased the latest product innovations and practical solutions for modern work and learning environments. The focus was on in-depth discussions, live demonstrations, and direct exchanges between manufacturers, partners, and specialty retailers.
In addition to the technical innovations, there was plenty of opportunity for networking. During the relaxed wrap-up in the garden, participants took the opportunity to catch up with one another, discuss new ideas, and reflect on the day together in a summery atmosphere. Not even the German national team’s loss during the public viewing that followed could dampen the excellent mood.
“The Xperience Day has once again shown how important face-to-face interaction is for our industry. Especially in times of change, the best ideas emerge through direct dialogue. We are very pleased with the positive feedback from our guests and would like to thank all our partners and visitors for a thoroughly successful day,” Timo Meißner, Managing Director of Kindermann GmbH.
