High-Energy, Hands-On Education Event Returns February 18–20, 2026
Lenexa, Kan. – January 19, 2026 – SoundTube Entertainment® is raising the stakes on integrator education with The SoundTube Showdown, a two-day immersive training event taking place February 18–20, 2026, in the Kansas City area.
Designed to move beyond the traditional classroom seminar, the SoundTube Showdown blends in-depth technical training, certification credits, and high-value networking into a dynamic, game-inspired experience where every participant walks away a winner.
The event builds on SoundTube’s popular Tubey Training program, named for the brand’s iconic squeeze-ball mascot, Tubey, and transforms it into a competitive, high-energy learning environment focused on real-world AV solutions and system design.
A New Take on AV Training
Participants will engage in expert-led sessions covering SoundTube product design, application strategy, and installation best practices. Training is structured to deliver immediately actionable knowledge that integrators can take straight to the field.
Attendees will also earn AVIXA Renewal Units (RUs) applicable toward CTS, CTS-D, and ANP certifications, helping professionals maintain credentials while sharpening technical expertise.
Beyond the classroom, the SoundTube Showdown emphasizes relationship-building through structured networking opportunities with fellow integrators and SoundTube’s technical and sales leadership team.
After-Hours Networking and Entertainment
True to its game-show theme, the SoundTube Showdown includes evening events featuring trivia, casino-style games, and local food and drinks that create a relaxed environment for meaningful conversations and peer-to-peer connection after a full day of training.
Exclusive Benefits for Attendees
SoundTube Showdown participants gain access to several integrator-focused benefits, including:
- Free Design Services to support system planning and bid development
- Free Freight on orders shipped within the continental United States
- Same Cost, Any Finish, with black and white speaker finishes priced equally for maximum design flexibility
Registration Information
Space is limited. Integrators are encouraged to reserve their spot by contacting Peter Melvin, VP, Purveyor of Fun at 📧 [email protected].
