Visit the Digital Signage Presentation Stage
In the heart of InfoComm 2013's Digital Signage Pavilion is a stage (and chairs for relaxing) that promises some of the show's most compelling content. The Digital Signage Presentation Stage, sponsored by Marshall Electronics, Multi-Media Solutions and Samsung, brings you more than 25 sessions over three days, from Delivering Great User Experiences to Emergency Notification. Hear an executive from Boeing describe the value of digital signage in corporate settings, and understand better how to avoid tragedies like the March signage collapse at an Alabama airport.
Take a look at the complete Digital Signage Presentation Stage schedule.
Tour Spots Are Going Fast
Every year, the InfoComm show offers attendees a behind-the-scenes look at the AV that drives local hot-spots. InfoComm 2013 includes stops at the home of the Orlando Magic pro basketball team, Disney's Hollywood Studios, and more. But these AV Tech Tours sell out fast, so browse your selection and sign up today.

PAMA Reports Microphone Sales on the Rise
The Professional Audio Manufacturers Alliance (PAMA) recently completed a study on microphone sales. Findings show that over the past few years, the professional microphone industry has steadily rebounded from the global recession. During 2012, shipments for all microphones were up 3 percent compared to pre-recession levels in 2008. Sales of wireless products are growing at a faster pace than wired and now account for 35 percent of the total, up from 30 percent in 2008. Shipments are tracked in several regions throughout the world, including Canada, China, Italy, France, Germany, Japan, Latin America, the United Kingdom and the United States.
PAMA thanks the following companies for reporting their shipments as part of the PAMA Microphone Program: Audio-Technica, AKG, Electro-Voice, Neumann, Sennheiser, Shure, Sony and Telex / Electro-Voice. Questions on this or other PAMA activities? Contact PAMA Executive Director Duffy Wilbert.
