Dear Friends,

Our North American show, InfoComm 2015, is almost here. We hope to see many of you in Orlando, Florida, for this year's big event. If you are coming, we encourage you to join us at the International Business Centre, sponsored by AV Magazine, located on Level 1 of the Orange County Convention Center. Stop by for refreshments, meet with other international attendees and relax. We would love to chat with you.

Can't make it to Florida? Not a problem, take a look at the schedule of events happening in your region.

Sincerely,

SCHOMS InfoComm Members in Action

SCHOMS, a community of professionals engaged in the design and support of university learning spaces and technologies, are providing reviewers to help InfoComm International® develop a new course, How to Manage AV Spaces and Staff. The course is designed to help university technology managers hone their management skills. Four reviewers are representing the SCHOMS and technology manager community, including Tessa Rogowski, ISS Customer Service Manager, University of Essex; Kevin McLoughlin, Audio Visual Manager, The Royal Society of Medicine; Mike Alinson, Teaching & Learning Spaces Manager, University College London; and Dr. Crispin Bloomfield, IT Business Partner for Education, Durham University.

The insight and depth of experience the reviewers bring to this effort are critical to making this new course a useful global resource for those whose daily task is to plan and oversee the operations of large enterprise technology departments. The reviewers are planning to finish their comments and edits this fall.

Promoting the Exceptional Experience in Vienna

On 21 May, InfoComm Roundtable attendees in Vienna were asked about the popular AV technologies in their market. Their answers? Streaming media, interactivity and big videowalls. They were also asked about the challenges they faced: tight budgets, competition from unqualified companies and difficulty attracting skilled workers.

InfoComm was in Vienna at the Hotel Stefanie to help AV professionals succeed. Godwin Demicoli, CTS, InfoComm Regional Director for Europe, kicked things off by explaining the importance of creating exceptional AV experiences for clients. The presentation provoked a lively discussion, with attendees interested in communicating the merits of exceptional experiences to potential customers.

Businesses work and communicate more effectively — internally and with the public — when they use expertly designed and integrated audiovisual systems. An exceptional experience in corporate AV combines content (formatted and delivered so people can comprehend), space (perfect lighting, acoustic and environmental conditions), and technology (seamlessly integrated and flawlessly functioning). Check out the new infographic.
