Newly Rebranded Exertis Almo Hosting First Fully Unified Event; 40 Manufacturer and Service Exhibitors Create the Ultimate Showroom with InfoComm Sneak Peeks
Philadelphia, PA — April 21, 2022 — Newly rebranded Exertis Almo is hosting its first fully unified event for integrators, resellers and their end users -- the E4 Experience Chicago – on May 3. Building off the momentum from last month’s E4 Experience Anaheim, E4 Chicago features the largest exhibit hall in the program’s 13-year history. With 40 manufacturer and service exhibitors, two fully functional AI robots and the most diverse array of LED displays in one place, E4 Chicago is poised to provide the ultimate showroom opportunity for Exteris Almo channel partners and their end users.
E4 Chicago attendees will be welcomed by the recently combined Exertis Almo management team and regional sales and service experts who are ready to meet partners where they are and help them realize their growth potential. Exertis Almo harnesses the combined sales, service, marketing and subject matter expertise of Almo Pro A/V and Exertis Pro AV to become the largest and most specialized value-added North American Professional AV distributor. Exertis Almo was formed following Exertis’ acquisition of Almo Corporation last December.
Vice President of Marketing and Communications for Almo Corporation, Melody Craigmyle said, “Wrapping up our spring E4 Experience, E4 Chicago builds off the great energy from last month’s E4 Anaheim, which included hundreds of attendees and resulted in hundreds of AVIXA CTS Renewal Units following a full day of thought-provoking business education sessions.” She added, “Savvy integrators and resellers brought their end users to E4 Anaheim and we witnessed business deals closing on the exhibit show floor. E4 Chicago will have the largest exhibit floor filled with new products and services. There will be an abundance of sales engineers ready to spend uninterrupted time with attendees and even two AI robots moving and interacting throughout the venue. It’s sure to be a worthwhile day for our partners to advance their careers and leave with renewed excitement about all our industry has to offer.”
LG is bringing its revolutionary CLOi (pronounced Chloe) AI robots, shown only at CES 2022. LG CLOi represents a line of robots designed to ease and improve the lives of workers around the world. Tedious, repetitive tasks are managed, enabling their human colleagues to spend more time delivering value to customers. The LG CLOi ServeBot carries food and other products – for example, a restaurant server can now spend more time with patrons, or mail can be delivered around a busy corporate center without tying up an office administrator’s time. The LG GuideBot provides information and security such as finding a store or restroom in a mall, or a booth at a convention center.
