InfoComm is less than two weeks away and I'M SO EXCITED! This is the first time in over a decade that I won't be on the exhibitor side of the fence so it'll be a whole new world for me.
I can't really say I'm sad to not be setting up in 100-degree heat, but I will definitely miss the camaraderie that comes from bonding over the aches and pains of putting a booth together. I also miss the Exhibitor Committee where I met a ton of new friends, and did a lot of idea-swapping. If you're exhibiting, you NEED to be a part of the committee (it's open to all!); contact Kurt St. Clair to get involved. Speaking of bonding, I'm really looking forward to all the networking opportunities the show provides. I'm also stoked about my very cool friends teaching a variety of classes and educating #AVTweeps. With that said, here are some of the places you'll find me during InfoComm 2018 (and some shameless promotion for my friends!). Tuesday, June 5 Emerging Trends Day I could tell you all about this but I already did in the VIP issue of the InfoComm Show Daily. Missed it?

This year's TIDE is going to be even better because my girl Margot Douaihy is moderating a panel session—Designing the Customer Experience: Nike NYC Headquarters Case Study. While it's a full day event, Margot goes on at 10:45 a.m. Read more: http://tideconference.com/las-vegas/las-vegas-schedule-at-a-glance Park MGM, 8:00 a.m. - 5:45 p.m. SCN InfoComm Installation Product Awards We received many cool entries, and a team of top-secret integrators narrowed it down to three finalists per category.

Tell me: How will you recover from the show?
