Almo Pro AV announced that it is bringing the E4 Experience to Dallas on Sept. 15 and Boston on Oct. 15. E4 is the Pro AV industry’s original traveling regional event for integrators, consultants, IT Managers and end users.

The company said the E4 Experience is a customizable day-long format designed to give local attendees endless networking opportunities, a showroom of newly launched products, AVILA-credited CTS RU education, and practical, optimizable tips and tools that can be immediately implemented. The program was recognized with the SCN Stellar Service Platinum Award and a Commercial Integrator BEST Award.

An Interview with Steph Beckett and Almo Pro AV guests Greg O’Rourke, director of trade shows and events, and Beth Dudley, director of sales – public sector discusses the details of the Dallas E4 Experience.

The fall E4 Experience agenda will address the technical and business issues facing integrators today. Both Dallas and Boston will feature a keynote from Tim Albright, founder of AVNation and author of Building on Ashes, which explores frameworks for resilience.
