There are many exhibitors and products on the show floor, which can make for an overwhelming experience, especially if you want to learn more about one area. Maybe you're thinking about branching out into a new technology area? Or what if you're searching for installation advice? At InfoComm's Technology Pavilions, answers and insight await you.
Audio
Audio is an integral part of the AV whole. As such, the Audio Pavilion showcases more than 250 companies that know InfoComm is the largest, most integrated show for sound and acoustic solutions. But to put it all together, InfoComm offers display, projection, and lighting alongside audio. Also, find the Sound Rooms on the show floor. Located off the show floor are the Audio Demo Rooms, where some of the top companies will show you around their latest and greatest. With more than 20 classes, workshops, and sessions, there's plenty to learn — and hear — about audio here.
Digital Signage
As an AV integrator, you won't want to miss learning the latest trends and products for a technology that's finding its way into airports, malls, banks, and supermarkets. InfoComm's Digital Signage Pavilion provides users and integrators an opportunity to see top companies presenting the latest in this rapidly expanding field. Off the show floor, POPAI is offering several two-hour seminars covering business and technical aspects of the digital signage market. And take advantage of the nine courses and seminars focused on digital signage that InfoComm has to offer, including Measurement and Metrics of Digital Signage Advertising (S93) and Integrating Digital Signage into Your Marketing Mix (S94).
Collaborative Conferencing
This pavilion brings together all the solutions in video-, audio-, data-, and web-conferencing technologies to offer you a hands-on look at what's available. Sponsored by the Interactive Multimedia & Collaborative Communications Alliance (IMCCA) and ConferencingNews.com, the pavilion offers a range of cutting-edge telecommunications and Internet technologies from leading companies. You'll also want to stop by to watch an HD conferencing demo, sponsored by LifeSize, TANDBERG, and SPL. That's right: HD.
Digital Content Creation
With advances in technology, digital content is all around us. From video iPods to the Web, high-quality digital content is an essential part of effective communication. The Digital Content Creation Pavilion, sponsored by Sound & Video Contractor and Digital Content Producer, features live demonstrations, mini-seminars, products, services, and technologies within the rich media and presentation markets. If you work with business presentations, staged events, web casts, streamed video, digital signage or any other communication medium, you'll find solutions here. Off the show floor, be sure to attend one of the InfoComm Academy Seminars where you'll take home even more tools and ideas for your next presentation, webinar, or staged event.
Lighting and Staging
The Lighting and Staging Pavilion, sponsored by Lighting&Sound America and PLASA, focuses on solutions for rental and staging and special events, highlighting products and services for buyers and major AV houses involved in corporate lighting and staging. Every half hour, there will be Rigging and Staging demonstrations. Sponsored by The ESTA Foundation, the InfoComm International Rental and Staging Council, and Lighting&Sound America, these sessions are your backstage pass to learn safe rigging practices and see all it takes to get ready for a big show. Seasoned industry professionals will use actual truss, motors, flyware, lights, line arrays, LEDs, and safety harnesses to demonstrate rigging in accordance with ESTA certified rigging standards. Off the show floor, as part of the AV Technology Tours, you can also see all that goes into staging Cirque du Soleil La Nouba and SeaWorld. Also take in the Rental and Staging Management & Operations Super Tuesday session, as well as the Rental & Staging Forum.
