In-plants at Expo to Learn and Prepare
Abbas Badani, senior director of Integrated Graphics Services at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.
Abbas Badani agrees. The senior director of Integrated Graphics Services at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, a stone’s throw from the convention center, says the Expo is a perfect opportunity for managers to educate themselves on the latest innovations. He wants to learn all he can about up-and-coming technology so he can tell customers about it.
“I want to be the resource for the customer, and to be the resource I’ve got to know more than my customer,” he says. He does not want customers informing him about new technology.
“That would not be a good place to be,” he says.
Staying up to date is crucial for another reason, Badani adds.
“The competitors are going to be there. If my competitors are there looking at things, I better be looking at those things too,” he says. “It’s kind of critical.”
