Show Central: News & New Products From InfoComm 2016

InfoComm 2016, the annual conference and exhibition for the professional audio-visual market held in June in Orlando, was attended by 38,833 visitors, 4.8 percent more than the last time the show was held in Las Vegas.

A record 1,000 exhibitors, including 211 new exhibitors, filled the Las Vegas Convention Center June from June 8 through 10, occupying 527,105 net square feet of exhibit and special events space — also a show record.

“This is a thriving, growing, busy industry — especially this time of year — and the fact that so many professionals continue to gather in one place, including new faces and dedicated InfoComm attendees, underscores the important role that the show plays in the success of their businesses and their careers,” said David Labuskes, CTS, RCDD, executive director and CEO, InfoComm International.

Attendees registered for more than 12,000 seats at InfoComm University sessions throughout the week, more than double the number engaged in training and education in 2015.

Approximately one-third more unique attendees took InfoComm University training at InfoComm than in the past. The spike in training interest was driven in part by the 2,620 seminar and workshop packages sold. InfoComm 2016 was the first time attendees could pay one price and take any of more than 100 courses during exhibition days.

Many of InfoComm’s growing member councils met at the show. Year-to-date, InfoComm International has welcomed more than 750 new members in North America — double the rate of a year ago. Membership renewals in the first half of 2016 are up almost 40 percent compared to the same time in 2015. InfoComm membership in Europe has climbed 17 percent year-over-year, and overall membership outside the United States has grown 12 percent year-to-date. Up to 20 percent of InfoComm show attendees travel from outside North America to take part.
