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!

If you don’t understand what the client is trying to do, the design may not be the right one. Forget the equipment and ask about the process. We’ll look at the proper way to approach an audiovisual project.

What is diversity? You may think you know, but it’s not all about ethnicity. There are a lot of layers to diversity you might not have considered.

This session will explore the basics of DEI, how to start a conversation in your company and the financial and cultural consequences of ignoring DEI in your workforce.

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

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!
