This year, the opening of KeyShot World 2023 was accompanied by Luxion Director of EMEA Sales, Jens Heineck. INNEO Digital Reality Account Manager, Andy Dinsdale welcomed the audience and spoke, among other things, about the use of AI in visualisation. The visitors could expect exciting news directly from the KeyShot manufacturer in the keynote, including the release of KeyShot 2023.2.
After the welcome, KeyShot World visitors were able to listen to presentations by experts from renowned companies and agencies such as: XO3D, Frangus Ltd and Freelance Industrial Designer; Alex D’Souza.
The four workshops by the INNEO experts, Hazel Suttle and Chris Udell were also very popular and offered KeyShot beginners and advanced users the opportunity to get valuable tips and suggestions for their work. Between the presentaions, our attendees had the chance to attend out 1:1 training sessions, this gave them the opportunity to speak privately to our INNEO experts and improve their KeyShot skills.
We hope all attendees had a brilliant time and we hope to see you there next year!
