Is anyone able to bring an Express and Lor unit and let me use them to demo in my class?  I have both but they are very large to try to fit into the luggage. I just need the lor setup for like channel #1 and for it to be able to use DMX which all of the ones in the last few years does.

Please let me know so I can plan how I am fitting all of this stuff in the suitcase.  <fp.  I really think TSA is going to have a heart attack when they see all this electronics in my suitcase. I will be lucky to make it to the show.  <wd..

I'll have at least an LE and probably a Freestyle and some other Lynx parts.

RJ what class are you teaching, is it on the schedule?

Ok great! I am going to count on it guys so I am not bringing the Express or Lor units.

I am not on the printed schedule as they added me on afterwards. It will be at 5 pm on saturday and will be announced. This is at the end of the day. I might see if I can get a few pizzas delieveried so we can can make it a fun get together class/demo. I think everyone that attends will be interested. At least I hope they are.

I have some pretty neat new things to show. As well as a annoucement or two.

Will any parts of the event be webcast (like the Carolina mini was) for those that can't attend in person?
To be clear I am not asking if the presentations are going to be videotaped/uploaded to the web. Been there, done that!

As of right now (2 days out) the quick answer is NO - but I haven't header any window of this.  This isn't a "mini" WAY different type of event 6 rooms over 12,000 sq. feet - also EACH instructive retains the rights to their presentations and has the choice to share, pictures, video, etc .... I can tell you I have no plans to webcast my presentations well for the excuses of I will be presenting and don't want to deal with the extra work of it so I can put it back into my presentation for the people their ...

Thanks Harrison:

I saw your initial comments, which related to videotaping/sharing the presentations. That was not what I was asking about, as having been involved in PLUS 2005, and 2007 I am very much aware of the tremendous undertaking that involves, when you are running simultaneous venues. It just doesn't work.

I was simply asking if any parts of it were going to be webcast, especially if a vendor is there and plans to share his/her latest and greatest offerrings. It provides a larger audience for him/her, and contrary to popular beliefs that kind of "press" actually will probably serve to stimulate more interest in attending a future event rather than less.

The setup is easy using a simple webcam, USB'd into a laptop, with all of the autolevels built in. The only real issue is a streaming web source. Webcasting can be done by a member of the audience, not an event organizer (like Tim H does when he travels to events and sets it up on his own (with prior event organizer approval of course).

It's no big deal. You have decided you don't want to offer that, which is fine. I just wanted to inquire to be sure that nothing was planned, as I have part of Saturday open, and would have tuned in.

Have fun this weekend!
