Why the E4 Experience 2026 Matters
The Pro AV landscape is changing fast, driven by growing cybersecurity demands, evolving regulations, and tighter margins. The 2026 E4 Experience delivers the products, tools and connections integrators need right now to stay competitive and profitable.
“We’re launching the E4 Experience program following ISE to give our integrators first-hand access to the technologies shaping 2026,” said Greg O’Rourke, Director of Tradeshows and Events for Almo Pro AV. “This year’s program is bigger and bolder, and Tim Albright’s keynote will bring the clarity and regionally-customized perspective that E4 Experience attendees are looking for.”
Your Pro AV Business: Adapt, Partner or Be Replaced
The AV industry is entering a period defined by rapid shifts in network security expectations, evolving U.S. regulations, and a complex 2026 economic environment. This keynote provides AV integrators, designers, and technical specialists with a forward-looking operational roadmap for the next 12 months.
Attendees will learn how new security standards, federal and state regulatory trends, and economic forces will directly impact system design, installation, compliance, and customer expectations. The keynote will also dive into the business best practices for making sure an integrator’s firm is still around for years to come. The session delivers specific checklists, frameworks, and actionable steps to strengthen project quality, reduce risk, protect margins, and position integrators as trusted advisors to IT, facilities, and public-sector clients.
“I’m honored to keynote Almo Pro AV’s E4 Experience this year. The AV industry continues to navigate rapid change, and this keynote focuses on leadership and adaptability: how we show up, evolve, and move forward when the ground shifts beneath us,” said Tim Albright, President of AVNation. “I’m looking forward to sharing practical, actionable insights that help AV leaders confidently navigate the challenges ahead. This is not theory; it’s a survival and growth playbook for today’s Pro AV professionals.”
