Las Vegas, NV – April 26, 2013 – Independent manufacturer’s sales representative firm Innovative Consulting and Marketing and its distribution arm Audio Video Warehouse (a member of the Catalyst AV network) serve Arizona and Nevada. The companies – led by principal Paul Brown -- have been a co-sponsor of the 2013 COLAB Spring Lecture Series.

Spanning March through May, the Series is comprised of 7 lectures by leading California, Nevada and Utah architects that specialize in residential, commercial and public projects. The lectures have been given at three Las Vegas locations: The Art Square Theater, the Amanda Harris Gallery and Las Vegas Design Center at World Market Center.

The focus of the Series is to give attendees a chance to learn about special approaches used on the various design projects, as well as provide an opportunity for all to mingle, make new contacts and share ideas.

As reported by Brown, the events thus far have yielded a turnout of 25-35 attendees comprised mostly of technology integrators, interior designers and students from the University of Las Vegas.

One of those in attendance was Michael Molina of local integration firm Smart Home Theater who said, "Having Innovative Consulting / Audio Video Warehouse involved in sponsoring events like this allows us to meet architects and designers that we have not been able to approach in the past. This has proven very worthwhile for us.”

At present there are two remaining lectures, both take place at the Amanda Harris Gallery located at 900 South Las Vegas Blvd, # 150:

April 29th, 6 PM - Architect Anne Mooney of Salt Lake City-based Architectural firm Sparano and Mooney.

May 6th, 6 PM - David Baker of San Francisco-based David Baker Architects, a firm specialized in affordable-housing projects.

Those interested in attending can show up or contact COLAB at 702-845-0831 to RSVP.
