Scottsdale, Arizona is the Next Stop on the 2014 Stampede Big Book of AV TourThe Spring 2014 Stampede Big Book of AV (BBOAV) Tour, the pro audiovisual industry's biggest annual road show, rolls into the Valley Ho Hotel in Scottsdale, Arizona on February 13 bringing local dealers unprecedented new opportunities for hands-on demos, presentations, and training. According to Stampede Presentation Products Inc. president and COO Kevin Kelly, the Scottsdale stop will also allow attendees to participate in the International Technology Retail Association (ITRA) annual member meeting and the regional InfoComm roundtable meeting that offers the opportunity for additional networking and CTS certified training. "Every stop on the BBOAV Tour offers attendees an information-rich experience," Kelly said, "and the Scottsdale stop goes even further by featuring two association events along with our own schedule of product demonstration and training sessions." In particular, according to Kelly, attendees will learn how they can immediately begin profiting from the new era of the Internet of Things (IOT). To further address the "Internet of Things" phenomenon, the Scottsdale stop will feature a designated area for IOT manufacturers, identified by pop-up banners and stands. The Scottsdale stop will also feature a presentation by Sony on video conferencing and the wireless transmission of hi-def video. Each session will earn attendees .5 CTS RU credit. Additionally, Stampede will be offering event incentives such as $500 Stampede credit, a $100 Restaurant.com gift card and a $50 gift card for attending the BBOAV Tour. Every attendee will also be entered into a drawing to win a 42" LG LCD HD television.
