The Northern AV Show was held at Ascot Gurney hotel over the last weekend of 11-12 June 2022. As part of the organizing team, it was our duty to ensure a good show for all stake holders, namely Penang State Development Authorities, exhibitors and finally the show goers.
Here's a pictorial with some personal comments below:
