Peerless-AV Showcase Sees Record Attendance on Day 1

Peerless-AV’s AV Showcase had a successful opening day on May 14 at Lords cricket ground in London, with over 50 exhibitors participating. This marks a significant increase from the previous year's 30 exhibitors, as highlighted by Beky Cann, Director of Global PR for Peerless-AV. The event, now in its fourth year, appears to be gaining traction and importance within the industry.

The first day featured a range of new activities, including educational sessions held on the showroom floor, a change from previous years where technical workshops were run alongside the event. Michel Bouman from Microsoft delivered the keynote speech, and Greg Jeffreys from Visual Displays conducted an educational session.

Additionally, the event featured a successful LadiesLove2Learn Cricket Lesson, with 30 women in AV participating in a cricket coaching session led by a professional from Middlesex cricket club.

Today, May 15, Ben Barnard from AVIXA is scheduled to speak at 10 am, followed by Sarah Cox of Neutral Human.
