"Ranked as one of the largest and fastest-growing tech markets in the country, the greater Chicago area is an important stop on our 2018 Big Book of AV Tour," Stampede president and COO Kevin Kelly said today. "The Chicago technology community has seen a major boost over the last three to five years, as a result of its diverse community, stable living environment and its anchor resource in the major universities in the area. These recent developments provide us with the ideal platform to engage with the tech community in the area and provide resellers and customers with the opportunity to meet one-on-one with manufacturers showcasing their newest products and technologies."

Headlining the tour stop is The Samsung Experience Demo Room, which is designed to ask the question we all ask each and every day: What does the future look like?

At Samsung, the future is now, and it comes to life through a range of innovative display solutions. Displays tell stories, amplify ideas, and improve life. Users have the power to turn vision into reality, showcase a world of action and shape the future. Guided tours will begin at 10:00am and will occur every 30 minutes for the duration of the event.

The day will begin at 9:00am with a dealer panel discussion, followed by the Tech Showcase Exhibit, where attendees and manufacturers will meet one-on-one to discuss the latest products, systems, and services. A complimentary breakfast will also be served during the showcase.
