00:00At STL we provide technology services and software to sports facilities all over the world to help them grow a healthy, strong grass surface.
00:12We do that at close to 600 venues worldwide and have been doing that since 2003.
00:18The STL showcase is aimed at informing the industry about the latest technology, the latest developments from STL, but also from their peer users.
00:32Therefore, we always have guest speakers at our event, like this time Peter Sauer from FC Bayern Munich and Octavio Kroijs from FC Barcelona, to introduce how they manage their pitches.
00:41It's aimed at showing the latest innovations and developments.
00:45This showcase was hosted here in Orange Velodrome, in Marseille, because they have been a customer of STL for a long time already,
00:54but they recently transitioned to our new LED technology, offering many benefits such as energy savings and increased performance.
01:03The newest innovation that we showcased during this event is our Turf Robot, a fully autonomous machine that treats with UVC light therapy the grass diseases
01:12and allows for a chemical-free treatment of the pitch.
01:17We had our host Dave Roberts explain how he uses the new LED technology in his daily pitch management.
01:24Showcase has been really good. I love meeting new people, great to network.
01:28The pace of the Showcase event has been fantastic as well, so I think it's been paced just right, just enough content, enough time to network.
01:34We're now operating 12 lights on the big lights on the pitch, and the service has been fantastic.
01:45It's nice to actually showcase what the team, my team do on a daily basis, and just show them how we do what we do, and for people to actually come out onto the pitch and see it.
01:53I think we all learn from the Showcase, we pick up new ideas, we pick up new bits and pieces, we learn about the technology coming into the industry, but we also get to speak to other people who are using it in different venues, and that is really, really key.
