Latin America. AVIXA announced that registration is officially open for its InfoComm 2020 Connected virtual show, which will take place June 16-18. The program will bring together thought leaders from a variety of professional AV disciplines representing all corners of the world to lead conversations about the opportunities and challenges facing the industry.
"A talented assembly of industry leaders will come together for InfoComm 2020 Connected to invoke a wealth of lively and constructive conversations on the most important topics," said Rochelle Richardson, CEM, Avixa's Senior Vice President of Exhibitions and Events. "We are introducing a dynamic virtual learning program designed to enhance the craft of AV professionals and enhance the experiences they create around the world."
They will join Kay Sargent, HOK's Senior Director/Director of Workspace, and AVIXA Board member, Pam Light, Senior Director, Regional Work Leader, HOK, and Adriana Rojas, Senior Director of Interiors, HOK, to discuss what technology experts need to know about the future of workplace design, especially given the current COVID-19 crisis. They will examine technology trends through a design lens, exploring the factors that are stimulating the evolution of the workspace.
In the session "Your Socially Distant Workforce," Joshua Weisberg, President of Navolo Audio Video, Rich Tate, Managing Director of Show Services, LMG, and Michelle E. Christian, Account Manager at EVENTEQ, will discuss how in the post-COVID-19, live event environment will require a different workforce deployment than in the past. Event providers will need to find methods to provide an adequate number of qualified and healthy event staff. The conversation will address issues, such as what happens if your number one technician is turned away from the workplace when they fail the health check?
Moderator Brock McGinnis, director of avitaas inc., will join Joe Dunbar, senior account executive, Diversified, and Victoria Ferrari, senior account executive, Conference Technologies, to discuss how the audiovisual industry has intensified to help communities and businesses continue to connect and thrive during the widespread quarantine. This session will focus on how integrators have extended empathy and generosity to their clients in this time of crisis and how they can rebuild their revenue streams without damaging those relationships as some states and regions begin to reopen.
In addition to the educational program, InfoComm 2020 Connected will host a virtual trade show where professional AV companies will present their products and solutions in virtual showcases and present live and on-demand exhibitor presentations. There will also be several networking opportunities, including council meetings, the AVIXA awards ceremony and much more.
InfoComm 2020 Connected is free and the virtual platform will remain live from June 19 to August 21 so attendees can see the showcases of the exhibitors and watch the sessions on demand. Visit infocommshow.org for more information and visit www.infocommshow.org/register to register.
