Hi #AVtweeps, happy Wednesday! We love an American holiday that makes the week go by faster. I’m in Denver, Colorado, right now for CEDIA Expo/CIX and I’m excited to do what I always do — look through the show floor for interesting products, connect trends with those products, and also connect with people!

In this newsletter, we have a blog from Simon Dudley of Excession Events. He writes about competitive intelligence — knowing your competitors well enough to compete with them properly. Read his full piece here.

Also we have the latest news from Extron, Plugable, EnGenius and more. Enjoy!
