EMEA Regional Update

Dear Members,

If you haven’t already registered for InfoComm Middle East and Africa 2012, now is a good time. You’re not going to want to miss the InfoComm University™ sessions, the four industry conferences, the two dynamic tours, and the CTS® Prep course which is being offered here for the first time. Register today.

This is a call for InfoComm International® RIBA CPD presenters in the UK. InfoComm has five RIBA-approved CPD presentations. We receive requests from architectural practices to deliver these seminars at their premises. If you would like to put yourself forward as a speaker, please let me know. Only InfoComm members can be selected. These presentations are available for members to use for themselves and host their own events or present to architectural practices.

The Staging and Events Management Virtual Classroom course begins on 23 October and is an excellent course for those in the live events sector. Based on member feedback from the classroom event, InfoComm is now offering the class virtually to make this course more accessible to those in the demanding live events industry. This session consists of live, online classes over five weeks (twice a week for an hour), which are recorded in case you can’t make the live session.

AV Week is 14-20 October this year. For those who are not familiar with the programme, AV Week is all about promoting our industry to those outside our industry. Although AV Week is a more popular programme in the US, we can take small strides in gaining popularity in our region, like presenting to your local school promoting AV to the younger generation. There are many resources in the AV Week Toolkit including presentations, logos and a guide.

Did you know you can manage your own subscriptions? Are you receiving too much information from InfoComm or have you missed something from us? Scroll down to the bottom of this email, click on "Subscription Center" and tick your selections, but be sure to keep "Regional Updates"!

Finally, don’t forget InfoComm is simplifying its membership structure and expanding the amount of free and discounted education offered to members. These changes will go into effect 1 January 2013. Along with these enhancements, the EduBucks® program will be retired at the end of 2012. All InfoComm members are encouraged to use their EduBucks before they expire at the end of the year.

Sincerely,

Chris Lavelle
