Brian Lamar of Belden Wire & Cable sends along this invitation to a free Tech Day in Orlando. 

I have enjoyed attending a few local SBE meetings as well as conducting
fiber training and sponsoring lunch. I would like to invite all of the
members to a free tech day in Orlando and was hoping you could help
distribute the attached invitation. I will also note my contact information
for questions. Thanks so much for your help as I'm sure this will be an
excellent opportunity to pick up knowledge on Belden products and the
industry from people who live and breath in the broadcast world.
