Almo Professional A/V, in partnership with InfoComm International, has announced final registration for the last stop on the Fall 2012 E4 AV training and networking tour, taking place at the Meadowlands Expo Center in the New York area on October 3.
The event will feature new and Almo-exclusive products from over 30 manufacturers, including Almo’s newest commercial audio partner, Atlas Sound. Atlas will exhibit and present a session during E4 NY. A fourth classroom has been added to the event to conduct 17 educational sessions, including two new presentations delivered by industry expert Peter Putman on behalf of Kramer Electronic USA.
“We are ending our tour in the same region where we had our first E4 event in 2009, although we’ve outgrown our original space and now need an exhibit hall to fit all the products, manufacturers and attendees,” said Melody Craigmyle, vice president of marketing for Almo Professional A/V. “Atlas Sound will bring its traveling Sound Trailer onto the show floor, which will feature a first look at the new A-Series line of array speakers. And it’s a privilege to have Pete Putman join our expert presenter team with two new sessions worth InfoComm CTS Renewal Units.” Craigmyle noted that one of Putman’s sessions would focus on how to handle digital signal routing while the other is on wireless AV signals, two topics that E4 attendees have expressed interest in learning about.
Along with the new Atlas speakers, the E4 New York event will showcase the following new products:
• NanoLumens’ NanoFlex 112-inch display and a NanoSlim 114-inch display in portrait mode
