Said David Kitchener, Director of EI Live! Interactive: “New products and industry insight are the lifeblood of this industry. In the absence of live events, it’s critical that there is an industry platform for installers to hear about what’s new and find out how these innovations will help meet customer needs as well as giving them the opportunity to ask questions directly. That’s what EI Live! Interactive will do, and I am excited to embrace the AWE Breakfast Show as a daily highlight!”
