The afternoon includes a NEC-sponsored microbreweries tour, followed be an evening reception and dinner.
Tuesday’s keynote is by Brian McClimans, managing director business development, Peerless-AV, followed again by Andrew Mariathasan, president and co-founder, RTTNews. Then everything reverses with those who attended the educational sessions moved to meetings with sponsors and suppliers, while the rest hear Brawn, Hiatt and Goldfarb.`
Following a free afternoon where those attending can set up their own meetings, explore or relax, a casual closing dinner is planned.
“This is a real networking opportunity,” says Richard Lebovitz, DSE editorial director. “It’s a big help to new end-users. The challenge is to meets the diversified needs of the different end-users.”
The sessions cover just about everything anyone setting up a network might want to know and more, as well as an opportunity to meet various sponsors and suppliers who can help them set up.
In addition to NEC, Peerless-AV and RTT News, other sponsors include: Chief; Saddle Ranch Digital Inc.; Sanus; Christie; Convergent Sony Professional Solutions of America; Panasonic; Viewstation.
