Stampede’s 2016 Big Book of AV Tour and Conference Series makes its final stop of the year in Los Angeles, today, December 8 at the Marriott Los Angeles Airport, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Registration is open here.
“We’re glad to close out a successful 2016 tour in the great city of Los Angeles,” said Stampede president and COO Kevin Kelly. “This has been a year of enormous growth for Stampede, and we’ve seen this growth reflected in the record number of dealers and end-user customers who have come out to connect and engage with our manufacturer partners who put so much time and effort into making this tour a key part of their annual marketing program.”
New to the Los Angeles stop is an exhibit by VRstudios, a global VR company offering content, experiences, and solutions to the entertainment and commercial enterprise industries. Los Angeles attendees will have the opportunity to experience VRstudios’ leading virtual reality technology firsthand during the event’s Tech Showcase.
“Stampede partnered with VRstudios earlier this year because we know that virtual reality is going to have a profound impact on the pro AV industry,” Kelly said. “The platform and products developed by VRstudios make it possible for our 20,000 resellers to help end-user customers across all of our vertical markets to make virtual reality an integral part of their enterprise. We are very much looking forward to the demonstration of their cutting-edge technologies at our final 2016 stop in Los Angeles.”
