In the past five years, the number of emerging tech companies in downtown Phoenix has nearly quadrupled, making the city an up-and-coming player in the competitive tech scene. With a strong workforce and cost-effective landscape, Phoenix has become a desirable location for the flood of startups and tech industry leaders looking to expand.
Recognizing this growth and the opportunity that it presents to commercial AV resellers and customers, Stampede is taking its 2017 Big Book of AV Tour & Conference Series to Phoenix, AZ on December 7.

The informative conference will offer a host of great incentives for the total business needs of all our attendees.”
