Show Director Previews HD Expo
I am so excited to be deep in the planning stages of HD Expo, to be
held May 13-15 at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas. You will not want to
miss this year's show as we present more than 800 unique exhibitors,
showcasing their new product lines and amazing displays.
I hope you are planning to join us Wednesday, May 13, from
6:30-8:30 p.m., for the HD Opening Night party at the House of Blues,
Mandalay Bay. This party will start your evening off right with live music
from Loveshack, photo opportunities, cocktails, hors d'oeuvres, and
dancing. Put on your dancing shoes and let's get into the groove with
this fun 1980s band! Tickets are available through our registration page
and will sell out-so get your ticket today. It's a networking event like no
other and a great way to kick off HD Expo. A big thank you to our
sponsors Aceray and Symmons.
Our annual Party by the Pool held at the Daylight Pool at Mandalay
Bay is always a hit. This event sold out early last year, so please do not
wait to get your tickets. This year, it is going to be a white party, so put on
your best white party outfit and let's go have some fun! This networker's
paradise event is taking place on Thursday evening from 6:30-8:30 p.m.
Enjoy the beautiful setting as you build new connections and strengthen
