Keynote by Gary Kayye:

8 Cool New Products and 5 New Technologies That Will Change the AV Industry Forever!

Join rAVe’s Gary Kayye for a forward-thinking keynote address discussing 13 up-and-coming technologies, and how they could change the way we do everything – and we mean everything.

9:00 - 10:15AM | 8 Cool New Products and 5 Cool New Technologies That Will Change AV Forever

Keynote Address
Time: 9:00am – 10:15am
Location: Grand Ballroom A/B

1 CTS

There are two things you can say about a Gary Kayye Keynote. First, he’s entertaining. Second, He’s been right in predicting tech trends for more than two decades – many of them he first debuted with us during former E4 Experiences, too. But, for 2023, he’s going to do something different. In addition to talking about five tech trends we all need to watch in 2023, he’s going to dissect eight new products and tell you why they are significant and why you should be integrating them into virtually every system you design and build.

Who makes these products and why does he think they are game-changers? Well, at this year’s E4 Experience, you’ll want to arrive early and grab a front-row seat when his keynote starts as some of the products he will demo for you, live, on stage. And, he’ll even allow you to participate – that means agree OR disagree!

The E4 Experiences’ first-ever, interactive keynote will leave you not only excited to hit the show floor and see each of the products in action but, the five tech trends will drive profitability and innovation in the AV, UCC and Digital Signage industries for the rest of 2023 and well in 2024!

DEI Roundtable – Kim Lonas, Alesia Hendley, Rob Vorhees

Topics include designing workspaces for diversity, ongoing training and sustainable focus on the issues.

2:00 - 3:00PM | The MTR (Microsoft Teams Rooms) Effect

Time: 2:00 – 3:00pm
Location: Cypress

1 CTS 

During the pandemic, Zoom was all the rage. But in 2022, Microsoft leap-frogged Zoom with a redesigned Teams to become THE preferred UCC platform for the corporation. Now, they’ve added the ultimate hybrid feature in Teams Rooms Front Row. But this requires 21:9 or 32:9 displays. So, what’s out there? Who can accommodate MS Teams Front Row, and what other factors do you need to consider when designing a room with them? This session from Gary Kayye covers all of this and is the industry’s first session to address how 21:9 can be transformative in room design!

11:30AM - 12:30PM | What the Marketplace is Telling You About Your Strategy and What to Do About It

Time: 11:30am – 12:30pm
Location: Cypress

1 CTS 

There are only three kinds of strategic differentiation in AV: Horizontal, Vertical, or Price. You either do one thing extremely well, or you do everything for one type of customer, or you sell on price. Ideal customers hope you will focus on their needs. Price shoppers want you to choose price.

In this session, strategy expert Tom Stimson will show you how to make the transition from an undifferentiated price-based supplier to a value-based expert in the segment of your choosing, so you can make more money, consistently and with less stress.

Key concepts we will explore:

  • Which services provide value to your customer
  • Which services you should outsource
  • How that affects your strategic positioning
  • How to get your legacy customers to join you in this journey
