Infocomm 2014!

 
Is anyone else excited for Infocomm 2014? Am I a total nerd for being excited? I’ve been to 8 or 9 Infocomm’s in my life. (lost count) Every single one of them I was stuck in a booth working for a manufacture. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve always had a love hate relationship with Infocomm. Hate setup – Love showing off our newest stuff. Love seeing long lost friends from Infocomm's before, hate hurting feet. Hate Vegas, Love Orlando: (Or is it the other way around?) Anyway, this will be my first Infocomm attending as an integrator. *THAT* is why I’m excited.

I’m excited to possibly be the client at the dinner. I’m excited to walk the floor, for more than 5 seconds on the way to the bathroom. I’m excited to go to classes!! I have my whole trip planned out. I’m having to miss the first day, but I have 2 days of Infocomm to live it up.

Day 1 – Thursday

Sessions/Training

Thur 8:00 AM - 10:00 AM        AV Connectivity in an Information Technology World

Thur 10:30am – 12:00PM        INTRIGUE: Create Interest and Win Buy-In From Decision Makers

Thur 12:00pm – 2pm                 State of Collaboration Tools Lunch and Learn: What do we have,   what do we need, how is it working

Thur 2:30 PM - 4:30 PM            Unified Collaboration-The Next Big Opportunity or Market Disruptor?

PHEW! I’m tired just thinking about Thursday June 19^th. Anyone else taking any of these classes? I had a hard time choosing. I really wanted to take some audio classes, but I had to maximize the information I was getting for my specific role. I am in sales. As much as I feel I need to learn more about audio, I do have really amazing engineers at Synergy that take care of the design details.

Day 2 – Friday

Show Floor Walking – I will be wearing the most COMFY shoes I own for once!

Fri 9am Crestron Booth

Fri 10am Microsoft Booth I want to fully understand why they are at Infocomm. I think they are pushing Lync and a wireless networking solution. I want to hone in on UC/collaboration, mobile UC/BYOD.

Stewart Filmscreen Booth

Pointmaker booth

Everything else in between!

Vendor Gatherings/Night events

I’d really like to go to the Crestron party, but I don’t have a pass….yet…working on it!

I bet there is a Drunk Uncles (band) night and I’d like to go to that!

Anything else going on that’s fun? Feel free to comment! See ya’ll soon at Infocomm 2014! Let’s make it a year to remember!
