The cavlo tech trade show announced its selection of Houston for its fall event. On October 4 and 5, cavlo will host a show geared toward systems integrators, tech managers and other communication and IT professionals from various sectors. These include the hospitality, corporate, education, entertainment and worship fields. Additionally, pro AVL manufacturers will exhibit their latest professional audio, video and lighting solutions, per a statement from organizers.
“Fun fact — the last major pro AVL event in Houston was held in 2015,” Mike Brown-Cestero, managing director, says. “This TOLA area is prime for a tech event like cavlo! This is our third time in Texas after prior shows in Dallas. The first cavlo was in May of 2021 in Las Vegas — the first post-pandemic, in-person, pro AVL trade show. [It was] followed by Dallas in the fall of 2021. After returns to Dallas and Vegas, as well as a Nashville edition in between, cavlo will head to Houston.”
A Show for Local AVL Professionals
According to Brown-Cestero, cavlo has the typical AVL contractor/production firm in mind. Thus, it is suitable for the 99% of pro AVL firms that don’t have unlimited travel budgets. The show also appeals to those companies that can’t afford the lost productivity of sending key employees on a multi-day, cross-country trip to attend a trade show. He explains, “We’re targeting AVL professionals who live within 250 miles of Houston. [This is] an area that includes Corpus Christi, Austin, San Antonio, Waco and approximately half of Louisiana.”
Brown-Cestero continues, “Houston is home to not only the Rockets and Texans but also more than 20 Fortune 500 firms and approximately 27 million people [who] are employed in the healthcare, hospitality, professional/technical and/or construction fields. Houston is also home to 25 major higher-ed institutions, five hospitals and countless churches, hotels, bars and performance venues! Our goal has always been to create a trade show that is easy to produce, easy to exhibit at and easy to attend!”
cavlo will take place from October 4 to October 5 at the recently remodeled Hilton Houston North. Per a statement from organizers, the location is on the north side of Houston. The show will also feature a free airport shuttle, free parking, a fitness center and pool, along with several dining options. cavlo adds that it will be a great opportunity for AVL professionals in the TOLA region to connect.
Registration will open on August 3 for qualified attendees.
