Full Compass Systems is commemorating its move to a new, state-of-the-art 140,000-square-foot facility in Madison, Wisconsin later this week by hosting a free two-day Expo and Party on October 23 and 24 (Friday and Saturday) from 1 pm until 8 pm (CST).
The expo will feature representatives from dozens of manufacturers, including Digidesign, Shure, Sennheiser, Audio Technica, JBL, Sony, JVC, Yamaha, JBL and Bose.
Attendees will be treated to food, live music and contests throughout the expo, and will be able to spin a prize wheel featuring thousands of dollars in giveaways.
Among the musical performances will be clinicians from Yamaha, as well as popular Madison bands Super Tuesday and Soul Shaker.
The expo will also be streamed live via webcast, where viewers will be able to watch manufacturer demos, live musical performances and learn about the special deals available to them.
“We are thrilled to be back in Madison hosting this once-in-a-lifetime event. It will be a great celebration with wonderful food, exclusive deals, and lots of fun “ said Susan Lipp, Chairman of Full Compass.
CEO Jonathan Lipp added, “This is the first time that Full Compass has utilized live streaming technology. We are delighted to be able to share this special event with all of our business partners, customers and friends who will not be able to attend the Expo in person.”

Earlier this month (October 1), Wisconsin Lt. Governor Barbara Lawton presented Full Compass Systems with a Certificate of Commendation on behalf of Governor Jim Doyle during the company’s ribbon cutting ceremony at its new headquarters.
Speaking to the more than 450 guests, Lawton praised Full Compass for its “extraordinary vision” and for “the creative genius” that has fueled Full Compass’ continuous growth over the past 31 years.
Lawton then did the honor of cutting a large red ribbon to signify the official start of the company’s stay in their new, state-of-the-art facility.

Dane County Executive Kathleen Falk and Madison Mayor Dave Cieslewicz also attended the event. Each read a proclamation declaring the month of October “Full Compass Month” in Dane County and the City of Madison.
Full Compass has outgrown three former buildings and the new facility marks the company’s return to Madison after being based in Middleton, Wisconsin for 15 years.
“We’re delighted to welcome Full Compass back to Madison,” stated Cieslewicz, adding, “It’s where they should be.”
Falk remarked on Full Compass’ stability even during hard economic times when “they have continued to grow,” and their ongoing dedication to the community by following a policy of hiring graduates of local institutions. “If that isn’t loyalty to a community, I don’t know what is,” she concluded.
