Independent programming firm Control Concepts Inc. (www.controlconcepts.net) heads to InfoComm 's09 June 14-19 with a very busy agenda. The Control Concepts team will be sharing their independent programming expertise in a special area focused on graphical user interfaces, staffing a networking booth, and chairing the annual meeting of the InfoComm Independent Programmers Council.
Control Concepts has been involved with the InfoComm trade show since our inception in 1997, said Steve Greenblatt, President of Control Concepts It is a highlight on our calendar each
year providing us with the opportunity to interface with the prominent industry manufacturers, renew client relationships, network with peers, work on team building, and learn. It is an
intense experience during which months of 'sdoing business's can be accomplished in a few highly compressed days. Our entire team looks forward to the opportunity each year.
GUI Design Gallery
In the world of A/V system programming and design, Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs) are becoming an increasingly important piece of the integrated audiovisual system puzzle. To help
illustrate this trend, Control Concepts will be participating in a Crestron-sponsored event, the System Programming and GUI Design Gallery. In its fourth year at InfoComm, this innovative
touch-panel demonstration provides a unique opportunity to look into the complex world of system programming and design. The participants, all Crestron Authorized Independent Programmers
(CAIPs) and many who are also members of InfoComm International'ss Independent Programmers Council, showcase work that has been designed for the full range of AV integrated systems with
an emphasis on ease of use for the end user.
The System Programming and GUI Design Gallery is one of the excellent opportunities for independent programmers to be an 'sofficial's part of the InfoComm trade show, said Mr. Greenblatt.
It is an exciting and rewarding experience to have thousands of attendees see your work, know your name, and appreciate the value that independent programmers bring to a project.
Interface design is a small but highly visible aspect of a the importance of control systems and programmers.

InfoComm Council Lounge
IncoComm 's09 is a huge show. More than 30,000 commercial AV professionals, technology managers, chief information officers and procurement personnel are expected to attend from more than
80 countries and to visit more than 850 exhibitors. For InfoComm members, the show is also their main opportunity to network. To help facilitate this networking, InfoComm for the first
time will host a Council Lounge, where InfoComm members and non-members can learn more about value and contributions of the various industry councils, participate in ask-the-expert
sessions, or just simply network or relax.
The InfoComm Council Lounge is a privilege granted by InfoComm, which provides show floor presence for member councils to market themselves to potential members and clients by sharing
their devotion and contribution to the audiovisual industry, explained Mr. Greenblattt. The Independent Programmers Council along with several other InfoComm councils plan to network and
discuss current and future initiatives while providing information to interested parties. Control Concepts is a proud to be a contributor and be associated with this elite team of
professionals.

Independent Programmers Council
The Independent Programmers Council is an important and growing stakeholder group within InfoComm, with a mission of serving the needs and interests of programmers of control systems,
audio, lighting and other systems who are not employed by hardware vendors or integrators. The council seeks to raise the stature of independent programmers in the industry, provide
collective feedback to vendors, define standards of practice and share professional resources.
The InfoComm show is also the venue for the council'ss annual meeting. As chairman of the council, Control Concepts's President Steve Greenblatt will be directing this annual meeting.
Being involved in the Independent Programmers Council has been a gratifying and rewarding experience for me personally as well as, I presume, for the other leaders within the council,
said Mr. Greenblatt. From opportunities to learn from your colleagues to contributing to initiatives that benefit both your specialty and the industry as a whole, involvement in the
Independent Programmers Council has been a worthy privilege. Initiatives such as the Independent Programmers Code of Excellence, Business Best Practices Guidelines, various outreach
documents for inter-council growth, a future membership directory, and the potential of a future certification have been the major strides marking the council'ss progress during the past
year and will be discussed in depth during the meeting.
The meeting will be held on Wednesday, June 17 1:30pm - 3:30pm in the Orange County Convention Center Room W110A.
