What an incredible experience in China with Dicker Data Connect and Hikvision.

Connect recently had the privilege of taking a fantastic group of customers on a memorable trip to China to strengthen our partnership with Hikvision. We explored the buzzing cities of Shanghai and Hangzhou, soaking up the culture — and had the opportunity to visit Hikvision’s global headquarters for some truly inspiring conversations.

Highlights included an exclusive tour of the newly updated Hikvision Experience Exhibition Centre, showcasing the future of smart technologies, and a first look at their impressive new audio solutions — a true step forward in innovation and integration.

We wrapped up the journey with a full day at Hikvision’s Tonglu Mega Factory, witnessing firsthand the scale, precision, and technology that drive one of the world’s leading security and AI manufacturers. The very latest LED video wall technology was of particular interest with some excellent opportunities awaiting.

A huge thank you to Hikvision's Matthew Zhang for his hospitality and insight, and to all customers who joined us for an unforgettable week of learning, connection, and inspiration. Doi Doi.
