Those green armbands and black fedoras belonged to the CE Pro Blog Mob at CEDIA Expo 2012. They were everywhere!
By Julie Jacobson, September 11, 2012
There is only so much a handful of CE Pro editors can cover during CEDIA Expo, our industry’s most important show.
This year we enlisted eight industry veterans to give us a hand, providing insights that only those in the trenches can provide.
Donning green armbands and black fedoras, these members of the CE Pro Blog Mob visited tons of booths, snapping photos and videos with their Lumix DMC-SZ1 cameras, generously provided by Panasonic.
Other vendors that rewarded these guest bloggers included:
- Remote Technologies Inc., which donated the best tradeshow roller bags a blogger could ask for.
- URC, which made custom backpacks for the “press” and provided top-notch RF remotes and other goodies for the whole gang
- Monoprice, which pleasantly surprised the Mobsters with news they would be offering unbranded products for the trade
- Denon, providing in-ear headphones/mic for the flight home
- Lutron, which lavished the group with a number of lighting-control gifts
Blog Mobster Bjorn Jensen could program his URC remote just fine, but couldn’t recall how to use the three-way pen/pointer/stylus provided by URC. He emailed the group, “Does anybody know how to use the laser pointer on that URC pen we got? Or does anybody know what the yellow tab is on the end of it?”
We’ve only just begun posting the great content and insights from the CE Pro Blog Mob. Expect much more this week.
In the meantime, enjoy these photos of the Blog Mob at CEDIA.
