Again, this year´s EMMA Eurofinals and the CarMediaWorld were the ultimate get-together events of the Car Infotainment planet. With more exhibitors, over 30 000 visitors, more than 1000 international guests and 200 competitors from over 25 Nations, this weekend in Salzburg was the biggest in the history of EMMA overall. The most outstanding event was the party on Saturday with great presentations of the Teams from Asia, Italy, Germany, Benelux, Russia and the UK. The 700 guests had a choice of excellent food – just like in a high class restaurant with a variety of more than 30 different dishes and even more drinkable specialities from Europe and Asia. RYAN EDEN, a local Bavarian Band performed Rock Music in a super professional way on stage and entertained the audience all night. All supporting exhibitors have been perfectly satisfied – especially the two main Sponsors Vibe and Ground Zero. Their Statements are very positive and almost all confirmed immediately to come back next time. Also from the competitors side many good comments came and some of them will even find their way into the new Rulebook 2018. Around the stage the ESQL competition is getting more and more into the Focus but also the traditional ESPL is gaining a continous interest. The four days were filled with action around this amazing competition and ended again with a emotional ceremony.
