PSW is continuing to build its new product coverage from the recent InfoComm 2008 in Las Vegas. The latest in consoles is the most recent addition, and now attention is turning to wired and wireless microphones.

Preliminary figures from InfoComm International showed record participation at InfoComm 08, with the estimated 34,600 in attendance representing a 9.5 percent increase over last year. A record 988 exhibitors participated, representing more than a 15 percent increase, with exhibitors occupying more than 500,000 net square feet of exhibit and special events space. There were 231 new exhibitors at this year’s show.

“InfoComm 08 reflects the fast pace of innovations and growth in the AV communications industry,” said Randal A. Lemke, InfoComm International Executive Director. “We introduced new courses and exhibitors this year to address the demand for digital signage, audio, and telepresence technology, as well as high definition products, lighting and staging and more. The NSCA Expo also was incorporated into our show for the first time, and we were pleased to debut the Electronic Systems Pavilion, along with the rest of the Expo’s traditional activities.”

The database of new products from InfoComm 08 continues to grow, so check back often.
