Dear Members,

Welcome to this month’s edition of Asia-Pacific Regional Update.

We welcome the appointment of the new Chairman of the Asia-Pacific Council, Zane Au, CTS®-D of Shen Milsom Wilke, in Hong Kong. His appointment by InfoComm's Leadership Development Council comes at the end of the term for the former Asia-Pacific Council Chair, Peter Swanson, CTS® of AMX Australia. He served as Asia-Pacific Council Chair twice for one-year terms. At this point we would like to pass on our thanks to him for the hard work that he has put into the council and for way that he has promoted the association and its works to the broader audiovisual communications industry.

We often hear comments from members that they miss out on information from InfoComm International® about upcoming events like roundtable meetings. In an effort to minimize the amount of emails that we send to our members, we have three main sources of information about InfoComm where you can get details about local events, education and happenings.

  1. The InfoComm Asia-Pacific Regional Page

  2. InfoComm Asia-Pacific Regional Update, you can register to receive this monthly e-news bulletin at your “My Dashboard” page on the InfoComm website home page. To access this page you need your InfoComm username and password.

  3. The Regional InfoComm News page in AV Magazine.

We are looking for speakers to deliver one of six regional webinars in 2011. We envisage that the webinars will be 30-60 minutes long and be of interest to AV professionals in the Oceania Region.

The webinars can focus on technology, case studies about real world situations or business orientated. As with all training done under the InfoComm Academy® name, they must not be product or sales focused.

Dates for the six webinar presentations are as follows:

Round 1, Wednesdays 20 April, 4 May and 18 May, all delivered at 12:30 p.m. AEST

Round 2, Wednesdays 5 October, 19 October and 2 November, all delivered at 12:30 p.m. AEDST

Benefits of presenting for the InfoComm Academy webinar program are:

  • Increased exposure in the audiovisual industry.
  • Opportunity to be associated with a prestigious globally recognized industry education program.

If you would like further information on presenting a webinar for the InfoComm Academy, please contact Jonathan Seller, CTS at jseller@infocomm.org.

Training will be provided in presenting information in a webinar format.

I would like to thank all those who submitted proposals to present for the InfoComm Academy at Integrate 2011. A review of the proposals is currently under way and successful speakers will be notified in due course. It's not too late to present for the InfoComm Academy. If you intended to submit a proposal but weren't able to submit before the close date, please consider presenting for the webinar series mentioned above.

In case you missed the last edition of AV Magazine, please mark your calendar now.
