Royal Roads University, 2005 Sooke Road, Victoria, BC V9B 5Y2 (open in Google Maps)
Free Event
Presented by Matrix Video Communications
A full day of audiovisual manufacturers with their kit set up and running, more than two dozen of them on one floor, from Sony and Samsung to Shure, Sennheiser and Crestron. Practical seminars run alongside. Aimed at anyone speccing a boardroom, classroom, control room or signage refresh, where comparing gear side by side beats reading spec sheets and the people who built it are standing next to it. Lunch and afternoon refreshments are provided, and parking is reimbursed.
Anu's Take
More than two dozen AV manufacturers in one room is not a number the Island usually sees, and most are brands you have specified without ever touching the hardware. Lunch is covered and parking is reimbursed, which tells you plainly who is paying for the day. Come with a project and it pays for itself.

A day of new hardware is a good moment to ask how well the last lot is being used, which is why I tend to start somewhere duller: with the fundamentals rather than the new thing.
