Regional Events in Dallas and Boston Deliver Hands-On Access to the Latest AV Products, Practical Education, CTS Renewal Units and Powerful Face-to-Face Connections
Philadelphia, PA – Sept. 2, 2026 – In an industry where technology changes almost overnight, sometimes the most valuable asset is a face-to-face conversation. To make this possible at the local level, Almo Pro AV, a leading value-added North American Pro AV distributor with nationwide reach, is taking the E4 Experience back on the road this fall, stopping in Dallas on September 15 and Boston on October 15.
Billed as the Pro AV industry’s original traveling regional event for integrators, consultants, IT Managers, and end users, the E4 Experience is a customizable day-long format designed to give local attendees endless networking opportunities, a showroom of newly launched products, AVIXA-credited CTS RU education, and practical, optimizable tips and tools that can be immediately implemented. The E4 Experience has been delivering this kind of experience to the Pro AV community for nearly two decades. In 2026 alone, the program was recognized with two of the industry’s leading honors for event excellence: the SCN Stellar Service Platinum Award and a Commercial Integrator BEST Award.
The E4 Experience also gives participants something that can be difficult to replicate in today’s online world: genuine connection. According to Eventbrite’s 2026 trend report, Reset to Real, audiences are increasingly drawn to experiences that feel personal and authentic.
“As humans, we know that nothing replaces the impact of face-to-face experiences,” explained Greg O’Rourke, Director of Tradeshows and Events for Almo Pro AV. “Industry professionals who attend an E4 Experience can expect to spend time with technical and service professionals, shake hands, catch up and network in our ‘family-like’ professional atmosphere. Following an E4 Experience, attendees should be able to immediately utilize the information and relationships they gain in a way that is both practical and profitable for them.”
Listen to an interview with rAVe's Steph Beckett and Almo Pro AV guests Greg O’Rourke, Director of Trade Shows & Events, and Beth Dudley, Director of Sales - Public Sector, for more details pertaining specifically to the Dallas E4 Experience, including information about a dedicated Command-and-Control demo space positioned outside the exhibit hall entrance.
Tackling the Issues That Matter Now
The fall E4 Experience agenda addresses the technical and business issues facing integrators today.
Both Dallas and Boston feature a keynote from Tim Albright, Founder of AVNation and author of Building on Ashes, which explores frameworks for resilience.
Sponsored by Epson, Albright’s keynote, “Your Pro AV Business: Adapt, Partner, or Be Replaced,” (CTS, CTS-D and CTS-I: 1 RU; STS-D and ANP: 1 RU) examines the evolving regulatory, security and economic landscape and its impact on Pro AV businesses. He provides practical checklists, frameworks and strategies to help integration firms improve project quality, while reducing risk, protecting margins and strengthening their position as trusted advisors to IT, facilities and Public Sector clients.
