Almo Pro AV is bringing the excitement of ISE Barcelona to the U.S. with the first stop of its 2026 E4 Experience in Anaheim on February 10. Now in its 17th year, the E4 Experience is a free, one-day regional AV event designed to connect manufacturers, integrators, and technology professionals through hands-on demos, education, and networking. The Anaheim stop continues E4’s momentum with strong exhibitor participation, live product showcases, and a practical approach that makes big trade show value accessible at a local level.
The event features CTS-certified education sessions led by well-known industry voices, a keynote focused on adapting Pro AV businesses for the future, and new product and service debuts, including LinkLab’s Autora Lite. Attendees can also explore Top Pick-nominated products, drone technology demonstrations, and interactive experiences like the Philips Red Bull Formula 1 Racing Simulator competition. Overall, E4 Anaheim positions itself as a must-attend event for IT and AV professionals looking to stay current, competitive, and connected.
Hot off the heels of ISE Barcelona, Almo Pro AV, a leading value-added North American Pro AV distributor with nationwide reach, is bringing the energy from the ISE show floor directly to the U.S. with the first stop of its 2026 E4 Experience, which unveils in Anaheim on February 10.
Manifested 17 years ago by Almo Pro AV to bring the industry together in a more localized fashion, the E4 Experience has become a true AV industry icon. Designed as a complement to larger, often cost-prohibitive trade shows, the E4 Experience delivers a wildly successful and repeatable model: a free, full-day event that visits four major U.S. cities annually, connecting manufacturers and integrators through hands-on product access, education, and meaningful networking. The E4 Experience continues to grow year-over-year, with the 2026 season projected to be another record-breaker in terms of exhibitor and integrator attendance.
“When people ask how the E4 Experience has been a mainstay for so many years, our answer is simple: the formula works,” said Greg O’Rourke, Director of Trade Shows and Events at Almo Pro AV. “The E4 Experience delivers much of what integrators expect from a major trade show, but with the added advantage of a more localized, comfortable setting. That means more one-on-one time to discuss real projects, experience live demos, and build lasting relationships. We see the impact at every event and we love hearing from integrators who tell us the E4 Experience helped change the trajectory of their careers.”
2026 E4 Experience Education
The 2026 E4 education lineup is led by top industry educators, delivering practical, forward-looking insights designed to help integrators stay competitive in an evolving AV landscape. All sessions qualify for AVIXA CTS units, offering additional value for professionals working toward or maintaining certification.
