SmartSource to Showcase the Latest in Audiovisual at Expo! Expo!
November 26, 2019
Attending IAEE’s Expo! Expo! In Las Vegas from Dec. 3-5? As you’re planning your schedule, be sure to slot in time to stop by the AV Experience by SmartSource. Together with AVIXA and IAEE, SmartSource will deliver audiovisual-focused education on the showfloor, ranging from practical advice for exhibition planners tasked with changing the attendee experience, to checking out next-gen and experiential AV technology.
“SmartSource has enjoyed a long and productive relationship with IAEE,” said Sonny Goyal, SmartSource CEO. “We are excited to be a part of the AV Experience with AVIXA to help event organizers make better AV technology decisions and deliver more compelling events.”
Multiple sessions will be presented during the show adjacent SmartSource’s booth 907 on the show floor, including the following:
SmartSource will present:
Bringing Innovation to Events Through Interactive Technology
Don’t Sacrifice the Wow Factor: 5 AV Technologies to Fit Your Event Budget
AXIVA will present:

In addition, SmartSource Vice President of Sales and Marketing Craig Sukenic will present a session called Learn What SmartSource and ABCOM Can Do For You in the Tech Huddle area. John Cuthbertson, manager of solutions architects at SmartSource, will also lead the General Session Backstage Workshop Experience with SmartSource: Maximizing Your AV Spend and Innovative Event Technology, a CEU-accredited workshop.
Complementing the compelling AV education will be SmartSource’s innovative booth, which is constructed with the Innovate line of thin, lightweight and high-resolution kiosks, posters and touch tables. Inside the booth, see demonstrations of digital signage and display options that can be used in sponsorship opportunities or for on-site navigation, as well as badge printers and other event management tools.
The star of the booth will be SmartSource’s four-sided beMatrix LED wall built with 100 LEDskin tiles. “While we have a lot for event-planner attendees to consider, we are especially proud to offer them a glimpse of the beMatrix LEDskin LED tiles, which can be slipped easily into an existing modular frame system by beMatrix,” said Vishal Goyal, director of sales and business development for the company. “They are versatile and provide a range of unique design opportunities.”

Reinvented Luxury Experiences
The Luxury Meetings District, made up of Bellagio Las Vegas, ARIA Resort & Casino, Vdara Hotel & Spa, The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, Park MGM and NoMad Las Vegas, is now more connected than ever before.
