PR Lessons Learned at InfoComm 2013

PR Intelligence Blog SSRHD94FV5V5 

As a PR account director for Tech Image, I have had the pleasure of representing clients at quite a few trade shows throughout the years.  InfoComm13, the largest professional AV show in the world, is my latest stop on behalf of client NEC Display Solutions.  And it was quite the Day One in Orlando.  Besides some impressive technology showcased -- like the NEC 80-inch V801 display with LED Edge-light, a mammoth 84-inch 4Kx2K display and the 14,000-lumen PH1400U projector, we were treated to a visit by former Washington Redskins quarterback and Super Bowl winner Joe Theismann in NEC booth 1801. 

Joe chatted with NEC Display CEO Pierre Richer about the upcoming NFL season as well as current NBA and NHL finals.  What’s great about these trade shows is renewing friendships built over the years and talking “shop” and trends with the key analysts and media covering the show.  It’s also a chance to evaluate what my clients and others are doing in the industry to advance green initiatives, and build products and services to help customers realize business goals.

One thing is certain:  As sophisticated as technology is becoming and the automation that comes with it, the professionals who make it all work are very much a necessity.  This show affords them the opportunity to take classes, hone their skills, and see the latest and greatest products.

And a final thought:  The day or night or morning (depending on your time zone) was elegantly capped off with a Blackhawks triple overtime victory in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup!  I can’t wait for Day 2 and Game 2!
