ETC Florida’s ConferLuxe Showroom in West Palm Beach, Florida serves as a way for the company to highlight its capabilities in audio, video and conferencing solutions, while also showing off its offerings from Control4, Lutron, Origin Acoustics, Salamander Designs, Sony, Samsung, Leon Speakers, Stealth Acoustics and Biamp.
With these brands on display, the showroom is as much an immersive technology experience as it is a beautiful, design-driven space. However, it’s in the extensive Ketra lighting display where both concepts come together for a singular experience.
“Every style and type of Ketra lighting is displayed,” says Paul Biava, president and CEO of ETC Florida.
From the cove linear fixtures to the G2 wall washers that are integrated into the Leon Ente Soundtiles, visitors to the ConferLuxe showroom can experience close to everything Ketra has to offer through the power of rich, naturally tuned lighting.
Initially, there were some challenges posed by the drop ceiling in the showroom, however, by partnering with a local contract, ETC Florida was able to float a drywall ceiling that could support the necessary technology for the room.

Beyond flashy showmanship, however, the showroom possesses a high degree of functionality as well, only we’re not talking about the control systems in this situation. In addition to operating as an experience center, the ConferLuxe Showroom is also used as a functioning office with the necessary videoconferencing and networking tools to match.
So, while prospective clients are not busy touring the space to peruse all the impressive technology and automation systems ETC Florida has on display at the ConferLuxe showroom, employees are able to go about their daily routines thanks to the Biamp systems, all while being exposed to one of the most beautiful spaces to possible work in.
