International Vision Night 2012 was well received


The International Vision Night 2012, the popular EMVA networking event on the evening prior to the VISION show in Stuttgart, was well received by the more than 100 participants. The EMVA together with its guests from Europe and all over the world the new headquarters in Barcelona/Spain and with Spanish flair has set the mood for the upcoming EMVA conference next year in the capital of Catalonia.

The location for the networking party with tapas and Spanish pop flamenco band “Diego´s Canela” could not have been better: Situated in the heart of the city and part of the state parliament, the “Plenum” with its glass walls offered a magnificent view on the Stuttgart castle with its gardens, the opera and the city lake. Prior to all the upcoming busy days at the trade show, the Vision Night was a perfect mixture of networking and celebrating in a relaxed atmosphere. For the international machine vision scene this was definitely the place to meet.
