We are currently in Amelia Island near Jacksonville Florida enjoying the sunny weather and awaiting a special conference Denon invited us to in which they will be debuting new products and chairing a special conference with Dolby Labs on the new HD audio format DD++. Stay glued here as we will be providing realtime info, pics, specs, etc from the show tomorrow. In the meantime, I hear the call of the Atlantic Ocean
Don't Miss Our Full Coverage of the Denon Summer Conference 2005 Event:
I just checked in and... the Internet seems to be working in the room...
This is a casual event so look for updates either from the event itself or tomorrow around lunchtime if they don't have on-site wireless.
Now I understand why you guys needed to get that additional cashflow from those ads. Must be nice, sunny Florida, boat drinks, Buffett playing, as you lounge by the pool, getting paid per diem the whole time......
Now THAT would be nice... no, this isn't a per diem event. Hmmm... nice idea though for the future...
This is more like: Clint and Gene drive 4-6 hours in car, sleep, see new products, sleep, say goodbye and drive 4-6 hours home... Still, to get a chance to bring you news of the new products prior to CEDIA it's worth it.

Actually I am on a Marillion kick right now. But I may throw on some Moving Pictures on my ride home.

And the weather is fine? No storm related issues?
It rained towards mid afternoon until evening so we had to limit our water activities to the indoor pool. I shot some mean hoops in the pool though. Who said white men can't jump? Granted the basket was only about 2ft over my head

We arrived at the Ritz-Carlton around 3PM and checked in. The only thing on the agenda for today was a welcome reception and dinner at 7PM. I spoke with Jeff Talmadge who was very optomistic about the new products being shown tomorrow. Several of the new products are really geared toward the custom installer market and meet several needs and features that Denon has been working hard to address. XM Radio is also playing a big role in several upcoming products (more details will follow later). Stephen Baker, President of Denon Electronics (USA), Inc. stopped by our table and shared his enthusiasm for the new products as well as some thoughts on their new DVD-5910 universal DVD player. We're looking forward to tomorrow's full day of events, which includes an introductory presentation by Stephen Baker, a product overview by Matt Good, and an XM satellite presentation by Victor Henley & Amy Wolfe.
Throughout the day there will be four main breakout sessions: a Product Showcase, Theater Demos, "CSI: Denon" (Custom Systems Integration), and Strategic Marketing. We'll wrap up with a dinner at the Golf Club of Amelia Island. We'll try to get some updates when we can and fill you in on as many details as possible.
