AMHERST, NEW YORK, March 27, 2017 — Stampede, the global leader in ProAV value-added distribution, is taking its 2018 Big Book of AV Tour & Conference Series back to the Washington D.C. metropolitan area on Thursday, April 5th. The day-long event will be held at the Sheraton Reston Hotel in Reston, VA (11810 Sunrise Valley Drive Reston, VA 20191) from 10:00 AM-2:00 PM. Attendee registration is now open here.
“The Washington D.C. area has long been known as a tech epicenter for both established and startup technology companies, but over the past few years its neighbor, Reston, VA has set itself apart, establishing itself as a key asset to the technology community in the area,” Stampede President & COO Kevin Kelly said today. “Recently named as one of the ten cities that are great for technology grads, Reston’s technology scene offers Washington’s networking and growth opportunities, without their high cost of living. Their thriving investment community, and highly educated population with ties to the federal government and numerous nonprofits, make it the ideal place to host the next stop on our Big Book of AV Tour & Conference Series. For industry professionals and resellers in the area, this is a must-attend event if they want to help accelerate their business growth for the 2018 year.”
Once again, The Samsung Experience Demo Room will spotlight on this stop. The Demo Room is designed to ask and answer the question: What does the future look like? Samsung Electronics understands that the future holds endless potential and exciting possibilities. At Samsung, the future is now, and it comes to life through a range of innovative display solutions. Displays tell our stories, amplify ideas and improve life.

The day will begin at 9:00 AM with a dealer panel discussion, followed by the Tech Showcase Exhibit where attendees and manufacturers will meet one-on-one to discuss the latest products, systems and services. A complimentary breakfast will also be served during the showcase.
