Van der Beken brings to Element Labs over 20 years international experience in key commercial roles in different AV industries. Prior to joining Element Labs, Van der Beken spent a substantial part of his career at Barco's Media & Entertainment division, which he joined in 2000, in effect witnessing the emergence of LED technology as a commercially viable large-screen display solution. Van der Beken quickly rose through the ranks at Barco to take on the position of international sales director events EMEA & APAC.
