As the AV world finds its footing after the pandemic, there has been a resurgence of interest in regional and local events in the industry. These events provide an opportunity for professionals to connect with each other, learn about the latest technologies and trends, and build relationships that can benefit their businesses in the long term. comeback in the AV industry.

One of the primary drivers of this trend is the desire for in-person interactions. After more than 2 years of remote work and virtual events, many people are eager to meet face-to-face with colleagues and industry peers. Regional and local events offer a more intimate setting where attendees can connect with each other and have meaningful conversations. This creates a more collaborative and supportive environment that can help professionals in the AV industry grow and thrive.

Another reason for the resurgence of regional and local events is the importance of building relationships with customers and clients. In a world where many interactions are conducted online, there is a growing need for personal connections. Regional and local events provide an opportunity for professionals to connect with potential clients in their area and showcase their products and services in a more hands-on way. This can help build trust and establish long-term relationships that are beneficial for everyone involved.

Additionally, regional and local events are often more accessible and cost-effective than larger national events. They typically require less travel and lodging expenses, making them more appealing to professionals who are on a tight budget. This can also make it easier for smaller businesses and startups to attend and gain exposure in the industry.

Finally, regional events can be tailored to the specific needs and interests of attendees. They can be more focused on a particular industry niche or technology, providing a deeper dive into specific topics. This allows attendees to gain more specialized knowledge and insights that they can apply to their work.

The resurgence of regional and local events in the AV industry is a positive development that benefits professionals and businesses alike. These events offer a more intimate, collaborative, and cost-effective way to connect with others in the industry, build relationships, and learn about the latest technologies and trends. As the world continues to recover from the pandemic, we expect to see more of these events taking place in the coming months and years. So if you’re looking to stay on top of the latest developments in the AV industry, consider attending a regional or local event near you. You never know what connections you might make or what insights you might gain.

Element’s Charlotte lab makes tensile specimens from turbine blade roots

Element’s Charlotte lab makes tensile specimens from turbine blade roots

Element Materials Technology’s Charlotte lab wire-EDMs one-eighth-inch cylinders from the root of a turbine blade and low-stress grinds them into tensile specimens—work value stream manager Daniel Steele says he’s not aware other labs do at this size. The lab, which invested $3.2 million in 2019 according to Aerospace Manufacturing and Design, is adding creep and stress rupture frames under a lease signed in January.

  • 01The extraction know-how has a paper trail: Aerospace Manufacturing and Design reported in March 2019 that Element’s $3.2 million Charlotte investment included EDM plunge machines—and that Charlotte was the first Element lab to install them for extracting cylindrical specimen blanks.
  • 02Deloitte's November 2025 outlook put manufacturing construction spending down 7% year over year by July 2025, so a lab adding floor space and creep frames is growing inside one of the few pockets Deloitte flagged for expansion.
