A Glimpse of the Exhibit Hall
Hands-on is the name of the game. With more than 750 exhibitors under one roof, you'll be scrambling to the InfoComm Exhibit Hall to experience more than 10,000 technology products. Here you'll find solutions and new ideas for a myriad of AV technology applications, including audio; display; projection; video; streaming; audio and web videoconferencing; lighting; staging; control, interface, and distribution; furniture; security; and residential systems. There's an International Attendee and First-Time Attendee Orientation Breakfast to help new timers learn their way around. (see opposite page for more information).
On the show floor, various Specialty Pavilions and Galleries provide you with concentrated areas of technology in compact areas. New this year is the System Programming and GUI Design Gallery, where Crestron Authorized Independent Programmers (CAIP) can showcase their hard work and visitors can gain insight into the complex world of system design and programming. And for those of you interested in large venue display integration, make your way to the Large Venue Display Gallery
