“Our exhibitor list is officially closed,” announced Jeff
Kussard, Capitol’s strategic development director. “Every space is taken by
A-list vendors, making this one of the most valuable investments for anybody on
the front line of the custom installation and light commercial markets. The
line-up is a veritable ‘Who’s Who’ of industry leaders.”
Among the consumer technology trendsetters that will present
their latest innovations at a special Technology Showcase will be such brands

the course of the two-day event.
The Capitol Learning Institute (CLI) is a comprehensive
education program that typically features key vendors providing a soup-to-nuts
education in the most relevant new products and technologies in their lines, as
well as proven tools and techniques for increasing sales through cost-effective
marketing and business management practices, Capitol said.
CLI programs take place on campus at Capitol’s Eagan, Minn.,
headquarters, online, and on-site at customers’ facilities by special
arrangement. The Oak Ridge Conference Center is located within 30 minutes of
