High End Show 2025: It Was a Great Run

High End Audio Meets the Future. From May 15-18, audioXpress attended the 42nd edition of the High End show. The 2025 edition of High End was vibrant, exciting and full of new interesting things to discover. And it was also the last one in Munich. This article details our impressions of a show that will be remembered very fondly by all participants and attendees, with every corner of the MOC Event Center Messe München sold out. Next year, the High End show is moving from Germany to Austria.

Preparations for IFA 2025 are in full swing, and booking levels for the Berlin trade show have already surpassed those of the previous year. After the successful IFA 2024, celebrating the show's 100th anniversary, the world's largest trade fair for consumer and home technologies continues to expand and improve. The 2025 edition now sees the IFA Global Markets B2B sourcing platform return to the same Messe Berlin complex and take over Hall 26.

A Celebration of the Art of the Possible. CES 2025 was extremely successful. Even with the impression of fewer people because of the show being even more dispersed. In this first impressions report we discuss how Edge-AI (on-device) is transforming what is possible in audio processing. And of course there was MagSafe and Qi2. USB4. Bluetooth LE Audio. Auracast. Wireless Multichannel. And much more. This is necessarily a brief first impressions editorial to follow up on a very intense edition of CES, where the business-to-business aspects of the show have intensified as predicted.

A BIG Celebration for Tech. That's how the next edition of IFA 2024 can be described. Taking place in Berlin, Germany, IFA 2024 is essential the global technology trade show that moves markets, inspires buyers, and maps the future of consumer electronics and home appliances for work, home, and play. The 2024 edition celebrates 100 years of IFA with a new brand, new format, and new improved business areas. IFA 2024 takes place from September 6-10.

High End Munich 2024. Once again, one of best organized audio shows in the world, with a wide spectrum of very high-quality audio solutions presented, and an excellent business environment. All perfectly complements this international trade show, making it highly valuable for all. A true "marketplace" for the audio industry in the best sense of the term. These are my first impressions.

LG Electronics introduced its vision to transform the company from its current position as a top global home appliance brand to a “smart life solutions company” that can connect and expand consumers' experiences while driving for global annual revenues of KRW 100 trillion by 2030. The strategy encompasses expanding into new growing segments, and transforming its business to a more platform-based, service-based business, leveraging also its hundreds of millions of Smart TVs running the webOS operating system.

According to the High End Society, the High End 2023 show in Munich was an outstanding success, with praise from participants and exhibitors. The promoters have now evaluated the results, and confirmed the outstanding impact of High End 2023, which ended on Sunday and attracted an international audience to the MOC Event Center in Munich from May 18 to 21. The International Parts Supply Show (IPS) B2B area of the show was confirmed as a model to expand in the future.

Promoted by the High End Society in parallel with the Munich High End Show 2023 - May 18 to May 21, 2023 - the IPS - International Parts + Supply - is a new initiative focused on the supply side of the audio industry. Happening for the second time, the 2023 edition will benefit from an extended cooperation with the Audio & Loudspeaker Technologies International (ALTI) Association, which will promote a schedule of conferences and will host a B2B meeting area.
