Mark your calendar and coordinate your travel, because the 2006 MERA KnowledgeFest is right around the corner! In addition to the many retailer and installer workshops, you’ll be able to network with all the key players in the mobile enhancement sector of the consumer electronics (CE) industry.

During the conference, the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA)® will be showcasing the Mobile Electronics Certified Professional (MECP) program. This is the only nationally recognized program that certifies mobile electronics installers and sales people on the installation techniques and capabilities of automotive information technology, entertainment, navigation and safety/security systems.

CEA's booth #308 will highlight the many new products, including MECP.com, new study guides and so much more! CEA will be offering specialty retailers a great show gift for just stopping by and signing up for the "new" MECP newsletter! During the event, you can also stop by to speak with representatives from CEA’s MECP Master Installer Workgroup like Chris Yato, Mark Eldridge, Bryan Schmitt and others who will be available to answer questions and discuss some of the newest Master Installer study guide topics. Come see why there’s never been a better time to challenge yourself to achieve a higher level of professional status.

We’ll see you March 4-7 in Louisville for the show! Don’t forget to visit booth #308 from 12:30 to 5 p.m. on Sunday, March 5 and Monday, March 6 for your free gift!
