The Geekout will be held June 13th from 6-7.30 p.m.  Social activities following the session will be announced shortly.  The event is free and open to anyone interested in show control.  More information can be found on the blog at controlgeek.net.

The Geekout will be the first event held at Alcorn McBride’s new headquarters.  Earlier this year, the company moved to a larger building which more than doubled the space for the growing business.  The new building features a warehouse, quality and test facility, engineering lab and a large training facility.  Alcorn McBride is well known for fostering a culture of camaraderie, and the staff-friendly environment includes a game room, gym, dog play area and fully-themed, media-rich Tiki Bar.
