AVIXA has announced Microsoft and Cisco will join at the upcoming InfoComm 2023 show in Orlando at the Orange County Convention Center to discuss advancing the hybrid workplace through the latest collaboration technology.
Specifically, on Wednesday, June 14, Chris Barwick, vice president of Collaboration Strategy and GTM at Cisco, and Ilya Bukshteyn, vice president of Microsoft Teams Calling and Devices at Microsoft, will talk about how their companies are addressing the hybrid workplace, from streamlining the in-person experience with hardware and software interoperability to integrating AI-powered collaboration tools for intelligent videoconferencing and ensuring meeting equity for all participants.
“Corporate offices have stepped into an era of bold, new hybrid possibilities,” says Annette Sandler, director, Live Content, U.S./Canada, AVIXA, producer of InfoComm. “Corporate employees transformed the way they worked during the pandemic by embracing collaboration technology solutions that enabled productivity and flexibility. Reverting to old work methods is not a successful strategy for a workforce that has evolved. This session led by Microsoft and Cisco and the extensive conferencing and collaboration program at InfoComm will help attendees envision the future of their workplaces, creating a pathway for growth and success.”
This session adds to a program focused on conferencing and collaboration at InfoComm, which includes more than 40 education sessions, product and service providers across the trade show floor featuring tours and more.
For example, on Tuesday, June 13, Daniel Root of Root of Collaboration, Kevin Case of A.Visual and Heather Stonebraker of Dow Jones & Company will offer the session “Real Estate, Human Resources, and IT: The New Stakeholders for Collaboration Technology” with a discussion on requirements, goals, and concerns from all three perspectives for implementing a successful hybrid work strategy.
On Wednesday, June 14, the session “Building the Multi-Meeting App Conference Room” will dig into the missing pieces of conference room design and what employees need from these spaces. Attendees will learn about options for enabling multi-app meeting spaces and how AV leaders can engineer quality user experiences, no matter the app. Speakers include Irwin Lazar of Metrigy, Malissa Dillman of Zoom, Mathew Slack from Microsoft, and Stephen Vobbe of Cisco.
Also on Wednesday, June 14, “Creating Flexible Meeting and Conferencing Spaces” will take a look into all aspects of developing multi-use office spaces. Attendees will discover possibilities available to them, from furniture design to AV technology, for designing collaboration rooms. Speakers are Linda Gedemer of AlfaTech, John Bailey of AVI-SPL, Cathy Richards-Ingram of Avalara, and Dave Bryant of One Workplace.
