An important seminar series on the emergence of digital media and what it means for your meeting spaces
There's no question that the digital age is here today. Analog television has gone off the air; some computers provide only Display Port outputs; many new laptops feature built-in Blu-ray players; the new Intel chips require EDID data from the display; and the latest video conferencing systems have HDMI/DVI outputs. The solutions for signal processing and display that you're using now won't work for much longer.
Technical Innovation and Crestron Digital Media invite you to attend the first seminar in the series, "PREPARING FOR THE ANALOG SUNSET," a 90-minute presentation on the challenges that we're facing, and the solutions available today. With convenient morning and afternoon presentations (10AM and 1PM), and our complimentary luncheon, we believe that you and your team should have ample opportunity to attend. The dates and locations are:
ATLANTA - Wednesday, February 24
Technical Innovation, 2975 Northwoods Parkway, Norcross, GA 30071
BIRMINGHAM - Tuesday, March 2
Technical Innovation, 150 Business Park Drive, Birmingham, AL 35244

Following up on our successful events of last year, we scheduled FRESH IDEAS events in four of our regional offices. In conjunction with Infocomm's AV Week, we offered a series of five AIA- and IIDA-certified seminars for the architect and design community. Also, in our Memphis and Nashville locations, we brought in a number of vendors who displayed the latest in audio-video, telepresence, streaming, and collaborative communications technologies.

Rocco Baldelli's single drove in the winning run in the bottom of the seventh inning for the hometown Durham Bulls, sending all of the attendees of the Technical Innovation Customer Appreciation Day home happy. It was a beautiful day at the ballpark, and even if the Bulls hadn't prevailed, a fabulous time would have been had by all. Our thanks to all who came out to cheer the local team and relax in the late-spring sunshine. Take a look at a few pictures from the event...
