I got registered last night for the early specials. Let my feet drag on this one and barely got it done in time to save a couple hundred bucks.

This will be my first big electronics show and I've got some good things lined up that I hope will help me in business and a/v in general.

One of the classes I'm taking is called "Learn to Listen." I think this will be very beneficial for me as I install systems over the next few years.

There are quite a few manufacturer training sessions as well. These are all free, as opposed to the actual CEDIA classes and seminars.

I've got one other person coming with me that will be helping me over the next year. He works at a local computer business, and will be able to help me with networking when it comes to the larger homes I'll be working on this fall.

If anyone else is going to go, we can hook up and tour the expo.

Only about 8 weeks to go :)

    Okay, I think I've set up the classes I'm going to be taking, as I will be leaving in a little less than two weeks.


    -"INTRODUCTION TO VIDEO CALIBRATION USING DATACOLOR COLORFACTS"
    -"VELODYNE - IN-WALL / IN-ROOM SOLUTIONS FOR GREAT BASS"
    -"SENCORE - SURROUND SOUND LISTENING ROOM CALIBRATION"
    -"CAPTIOL SALES COMPANY - THE #1 INTEGRATED WIRED/WIRELESS RESIDENTIAL PHONE SOLUT" Panasonic phone systems
    -"LEARN TO LISTEN"

    The "Learn to Listen" class is the only one I'm paying to attend.

    I have set up several appointment with different manufacturers, distribution companies, and individual reps.

    Although I don't think pictures are allowed on the show floor, I will try to keep a reasonable log to provide a good review of everything.
