InfoComm and FICCI See India's Digital Future

InfoComm Executive Director and CEO David Labuskes, CTS®, RCDD, gave the keynote address for the Association of Educational Technology Managers' (AETM) 2014 Conference in Cairns, Queensland. The conference was held 11-13 November at James Cook University. Labuskes joined the group via videoconference to explain the concept of an exceptional AV experience and the role AV professionals play in achieving it.

Later in the conference, Richard Morrison, national manager for information communications technology at Norman Disney & Young, presented on implementing the ANSI/INFOCOMM 10:2013 Audiovisual Systems Performance Verification standard. Morrison served on the standard's task force and chaired the group that published the accompanying guide. Attendees also learned about InfoComm's AV Provider of Excellence program.

The second InfoComm India Exhibition and Summit ended its three-day run 19 September. "We are gratified by the overwhelmingly positive response and feedback received from exhibitors and attendees," said Richard Tan, executive director of InfoCommAsia Pte Ltd. "Notwithstanding it being only the second edition, InfoComm India has become recognised in the industry as the premier platform for the convergence of world-class AV solution providers and a diverse range of end users."

More than 5,600 visitors from throughout the AV trade channel attended InfoComm India 2014 in Mumbai, up 28 percent from the prior year. Attendance at the special education summit, which provided a fruitful exchange of ideas on AV technologies and innovations, increased 40 percent. The strong support of 110 exhibitors further attested to the reputation of the show as the industry-leading showcase of AV solutions.

"This is our first experience at InfoComm India and it matches the international standards," said Vibhor Khanna, national sales manager for the Professional Systems Division at Bose Corp. InfoComm has been great and we met with the right audience. We look forward to our continued association with InfoComm."

More than 90 percent of exhibitors booked space for next year's show, scheduled for 1-3 September 2015. Read more.
