Latin America. Starting this new year we want to honor those professionals who are dedicated to doing the best for our industry and we are sure that you have had the opportunity to work with an exceptional AV professional, or perhaps you have a mentor whose career has been an inspiration.
Now is the time to highlight those people!
Registration for the 2017 InfoComm International Awards is open.
You know that AV technology is impressive, but behind all this, the team and the facilities are the people and it is those people like you and your team who do the magic. InfoComm always seeks to highlight the dedicated work of professionals, so we want to share the call for the InfoComm Awards in its 2017 version and we also invite you to nominate your colleagues, in order to increasingly link the AV community in Latin America with its peers in other regions.
