After a successful run in the spring, Almo is bringing the virtual E4 Evolution back for another week featuring seven new sessions across three days of professional development Oct. 27-29.
The company announced the second round of E4 Evolution sessions in an email urging those across the pro AV landscape to save the dates and promising more details on the event soon.
Almo debuted the virtual E4 Evolution in May with three days of sessions across the U.S. Almo VP of marketing and communication Melody Craigmyle says the shift to an online format is something they have been considering for a while.
“We had a real clear vision on what we wanted to provide and I think we are going to deliver something that’s very unique in the industry and hopefully something that will continue to evolve. It really is the next phase of the E4 Experience,” says Craigmyle.

The live Almo E4 Evolution classes will be streamed during the three events, she says. Each E4 Evolution event will also have pre-recorded sessions.
“We had to really look at what’s important to the integration community at this time,” Craigmyle said before the original E4 Evolution offerings. “My vision of the event was not just to have something where you’re clicking around and looking at PDFs.
“I wanted us to have a very curated experience,” she said at the time.

“One advantage we have in our pocket is we have 11 years of background with the E4 Experience, changing the program with the market conditions. That’s basically what we had to do here: take that content and switch it to a different format that would be easy to consume anywhere,” says Craigmyle.
E4 Evolution attendees will be able to get involved with live chats. Craigmyle made it clear in the spring that the E4 Evolution virtual events will not be permanent replacements for in-person E4 sessions, but can serve as enhancements to the live events.
“We’re going to have to start thinking about our live events very differently than we have in the past,” she says. We see this platform as something we’re going to continue with for years to come.”
