RTKL Achieves CTS-D Milestone

Congratulations to InfoComm member RTKL, a global creative services organization, for having recently achieved an unprecedented milestone in the industry by reaching its tenth CTS-D audiovisual designer on staff! In commenting about the importance the firm places on certification, Tony Warner, Principal in charge of the AV design service for the firm, said “We understand that certification has mixed emotion associated with it in the industry, but it continues to be the best tool we have at elevating the caliber of design both among consultants and integrators. It is a means of helping to differentiate good integrators within the industry. If we are going to require it of integrators, we have a responsibility to embrace the certification ourselves.”

ISE Sells Out

Floor space at Integrated Systems Europe sold out six weeks before the show! Organizer Integrated Systems Events started a waiting list and says it will do everything it can to accommodate late bookings, but with no additional space available at the Amsterdam RAI convention centre, latecomers will now have to rely on cancellations to gain entry. Net floor space at ISE 2008, being held January 29-31, 2008 in Amsterdam, will be almost 50% up on the previous year’s event, while the total show area will grow from 29,000 gross square metres in 2007 to 38,500 gsm.
