Audiovisual distributor Almo Professional A/V recently announced that registration is officially open for the next stop on its traveling E4 AV Tour, which will take place in Washington, D.C., on Nov. 10.
The D.C. tour includes a full lineup of brand-new training courses worth InfoComm International CTS renewal units (RUs) and will kick-off with a special address by Randy Lemke, executive director of InfoComm.
The E4 AV tour, which debuted last December in New York City and stopped in Anaheim and Chicago earlier this year, is a free, full-day program with an educational focus that allows partners to earn RUs while also networking top manufacturers, Almo says. More than 1,000 partners have already experienced the E4 AV events, having earned a total of 475 RUs.
"We are passionate about helping our partners advance their careers through training and education," said Sam Taylor, executive vice president and COO for Almo Professional A/V. "Past attendees have indicated that they want a concentrated day of learning and networking without the worry of travel costs and excessive time away from their customers. We've designed a tight business and technical training curriculum that allows them to learn, earn and make the most of their time."
