Almo charging up digital signage and AV with this year's E4 AV tour

Almo Professional A/V announced that it is giving resellers, integrators and consultants the opportunity to charge up their businesses by attending the annual E4 AV Tour, coming to Chicago on March 26 and Southern California on April 21.

The spring tour will include exclusive access to new products and services that "electrify" installation projects, the company said, as well as networking opportunities and educational technical and business sessions — including what Almo says is a "highly anticipated" HDBaseT Installer Expert Program.

"Our theme for the spring events is 'Fully Charged' because we are focusing on giving our attendees the business fuel they need to stay plugged in and energized in 2015," said Melody Craigmyle, vice president of marketing for Almo Professional A/V, in the announcement. "Our E4 — education, expo, explore and exchange — formula works. The high-energy environment is designed to leave our partners fully charged as they become stronger, smarter and more efficient with the way they go about business this year.

"One of the most exciting additions to our spring tour is the technical HDBaseT Installer Expert Program, which is for attendees who would like to learn more about HDBaseT technology, regardless of whether they are beginner or expert installers. At the conclusion of the course, participants receive an HDBaseT Expert Certificate as well as InfoComm Renewal Units."

Both E4 events include a keynote address delivered by Gary Kayye of rAVe Publications with new information about "Being Smart About Smart Buildings," focusing on the burgeoning practice of pre-engineering AV into every room in new construction and how to become a preferred provider to the architect and facility manager community.
