From graphics and contribution to newsroom and storage, visitors saw a wide range of partner solutions operating natively within the AMPP OS environment. These weren’t add-ons or side panels, they were fully embedded, responsive, and production-ready. It was a clear demonstration that when you build on an open foundation, every new tool expands your creative and operational potential without adding complexity.
