Almo Professional AV, in partnership with InfoComm International, announced that registration has officially opened for the first two E4 AV training and networking events of the year.
The events will take place in Irvine, CA on Wednesday April 3, and Washington D.C. on May 18. Each of the one-day programs packs in 10 educational sessions, most of which are worth CTS Renewal Units (RUs), along with an exhibit hall featuring 30 of the top industry manufacturers, some of which are showing brand new products only available through Almo Pro AV.
“Since our E4 tour began in December 2009, we’ve hosted more than 4,000 attendees who have earned close to 3,000 InfoComm renewal units,” said Sam Taylor, executive vice president and COO for Almo Professional AV. “Our partners continue to tell us that this program has become a critical part of their professional development and business growth plan. We have kept some of most popular training sessions in the agenda, like those on green AV, techorating and social media marketing, while adding new training on topics such as flexible digital signage, which will be presented by NanoLumens, our newest exclusive national partner.”
“InfoComm applauds Almo Professional AV’s dedication to delivering industry education locally and is pleased to be a partner on the E4 AV tour,” said Randal A. Lemke, Ph.D., executive director and CEO, InfoComm International. “The E4 AV Tour is fulfilling an important mission of creating a better educated AV industry that customers can have confidence in.”
