<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Ken,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I agree with Steven about the conferences. For lighting equipment, I suggest that you contact the manufacturers, and get Demos in your space.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Ideally, you’d want for them to be there concurrently, or to schedule the demos through a dealer that has access to more than one product line.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Then you can see the products against your current gear, and also against the other options.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Depending on the size of your project, most manufacturers will may to have their Reps present to both answer questions, and make sure that the gear is setup properly.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Feel free to contact me, if Chauvet Pro is on your proposed equipment list. I’ll route you through to the right people to get it arranged. You can also take a look at The Muny. The majority of their new lighting inventory is Chauvet
Pro (Mostly Ovation and Colorado, with a GIANT IP rated video wall).<o:p></o:p></p>

shortly thereafter. Right now I'm thinking I need to start looking at the latest and greatest equipment so I have an idea of what the consultant is recommending. Other than USITT and LDI what other shows would be good to check out for theatrical equipment?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
