Poland - Robe supported the 2024 Scena Jutra (Stage of Tomorrow) two-day symposium in Warsaw, which this year changed up to a new venue inside the city’s Palace of Culture & Science in downtown, one of Europe’s tallest buildings.
The sixth edition of this growing two-day event featured over 120 speakers, both international and from across Poland, who gave a series of presentations or joined lively panel discussions. These embraced an eclectic variety of topics all related to production design, visual and sonic art also embracing architecture and built spaces, plus several more esoteric but related subjects.
While the designated exhibition area provided a backdrop for Robe to showcase some of its latest tech, the vibe was more about stimulating ideas and exploring the adventure of possibilities that might be achieved now and in the future through the collaboration of arts and technology.
Linking the three main presentation stages – Scena Inspiracje (Inspiration) Scena Akademia (Learning) and Scena Dyskusje (Discussion) – was an inclusive exhibition space, where manufacturers, brands and companies presented products, services, and personalities gathered.
Robe demonstrated a selection of its newest LED lighting products including the new iBOLT, the iFORTE LTX, the T32 Cyc and the Footsie. It was also the first time that Robe was at a Scene Jutra event with its new business partners, Avolites and LSC Control Systems, both recently acquired by the Czech manufacturer.
An Avolites D9-215 console was demonstrated on their own display section, while LSC showed one of their Unitour power distro racks.
A strong team from Robe’s international team attended the occasion including commercial director JJ Valchar, European key account managers Michel Arntz and Jeroen van Aalst and product development specialist Dave Whitehouse.
Dave Whitehouse also gave two presentations. Sources for Courses - The Trend for Task Specific Solutions highlighted the flexibility of Robe’s TE system and explained how different types of LED can provide task-specific solutions instead of one having to cover all applications. Invest Strategically - The Transferable Engine Concept, examined the economic advantages of TE – longevity, ROI, sustainability, and new market penetration.
Avolites’ Sarah O’Gorman from internal sales also gave a presentation which included an overview of the current products and a roundup of the company’s ground-breaking history which reaches a 50-year landmark in 2026.
