Where: POLK HQ, Baltimore, Maryland
When: April 9th 2009, 6-10pm(EST)
Polk Audio
5601 Metro Drive
Baltimore, MD 21215
(410) 358-3600
I was told about a special event that will be held at Polk HQ and its "open" to any local Polkies that care to attend. In other words, anyone within driving distance is welcome. If you want to fly in...by all means, knock yourself out.
It's usually a private, dealer type only event but I've been informed, to let you crazy folks know about it. Hopefully, Polk won't regret it
They will be displaying and running demos of existing product lines, "new" and even conceptual equipment. Some of the ideas may only be on paper, so that's pretty cool in my book. The purpose is to get some serious feedback from the public and private sector network.
*NOTE: You will have to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement(NDA) prior to entering the building. I'll handle that either offline or onsite for any interested parties.
That means anything you see, hear, touch, smell or fornicate with will have to remain a blessed memory in your head.....forever. If you violate the agreement, you could be in some serious trouble and that's no joke partner.
Anyways, it should be a real treat for the local folks...sorry out-of-towners but you're welcome to attend as well.
I'll add more information as it becomes available but if you're handy, definitly make an effort to attend. Just keep in mind, I'm your handler and escort
If you're interested, contact me - mln@polkaudio.com
If you actually know me, you probably have my personal email, so use it instead.
*UPDATE*
Hi Mark,
The sked we are thinking of for April 9 is:
5:30pm – 6:00pm Arrive, Meet and Greet
6:00pm – 6:30pm Dinner – might include discussion of 1 product
6:30pm – 8:45pm Demos and focus groups
8:45pm – 9:00pm Wrap-Up
Demos:
2 products on their way to market (home theater, outdoor)
2 products still in development (home theater, home audio/theater)
Focus groups:
4 products in the concept phase (home audio, home theater, home audio/theater, new product category)
Do you think the timing would work for everyone?
Thanks,
Monica

NDA's? Ha I live and breath NDA's-- Actually I make for pretty boring conversation since I can't talk about 99% of what I learn (unless of course you sign my own NDA
).
Is there a deadline on when to let you know?

While I would love to go I do not want to take any time off right now. Not sure what might happen in the next month.

Mark, count me in as of now. I am coaching both flag football and basketball, but don't have practice schedules yet. I will let you know ASAP.
If anyone does fly in and needs a rental car, shoot me a PM.
Thanks Mark and Polk Audio. Jeff -

I want to go but neither of my cars are in good enough condition for a 1 1/2 hour drive. I would love to tag along with someone though. I'm only 7 minutes off of 95 S about 60 miles north of Baltimore.

Ok, it's looking like I'll more then likely be there, me and my g/f. Depending on if we take my truck or her car, I could possibly pick someone up on the way. If it's my truck, which it probably will be, then there's only two seats.1993 Ford Ranger super cab:
