With only a couple of weeks to go until the 2024 E4 Experience, Exertis Almo is putting the finishing touches on the spring installments with an entirely new lineup of 10 business and technical AVIXA-certified sessions, three immersive demos focused on AI, XR headsets and drones, and 40+ exhibitors previewing the newest AV products and services. The 2024 E4 Experience journey will begin in the D.C. Metro area on March 5 and continue to Chicago on April 16.
Check out this show floor tour from the 2023 E4 Experience to get an idea of what it’s like to attend:
“The beauty of the E4 Experience is that it comes directly to local-area integrators so they don’t have to travel and take extended time away from their projects,” explained Melody Craigmyle, vice president of marketing and communications, Almo Corporation. “Instead, they can bring clients to a beautiful showroom filled with new, interactive technology and engage with sales engineers to ask questions and take the next step. Integrators tell us that the E4 Experience has been the direct result of new business relationships and new ideas for growth and profitability. They leave charged up and ready to jump back in with a fresh perspective.”
Craigmyle added, “If attendees are looking to earn AVIXA CTS renewal units to maintain their status or if they just want to learn about the latest industry trends and technology, they can partake in a full day of sessions that become more technical from morning to afternoon.” She continued, “Immersive demos, including a Microsoft Teams Room Experience Center, XR Solutions with the newest PICO headsets, and even a live drone simulation, will also be available — along with a few additional surprises.”
