Message From the Directors

|
Dear Friends,
As we write this (maybe even as you receive it), we are preparing to celebrate our industry at the
AV Awards, 25 Sept., at the
Grosvenor House in London. InfoComm International® is a supporter of this special night, when we
kick off the evening with a networking reception nearby and then make our way to the red carpet.
For those of you reading this the next morning in or around London, we assure you it was great seeing
all of our AV industry colleagues and we look forward to seeing you at another regional event soon.
Speaking of big events, here is a reminder to our friends in the Middle East and Africa:
InfoComm MEA 2015 is almost here.
The exhibition will be held 19-22 Oct. at the Dubai World Trade Centre and is shaping up to be a
fantastic event. It's not too late to register,
so be sure to do so soon. We hope to see you there.
Sincerely,
|

Digital Signs and Roundtables: Building Business Value
InfoComm is hosting a pair of European Roundtables with an eye toward helping AV professionals
succeed in digital signage. Both the 20 Oct. event in London
and the 22 Oct. event in Dublin
will feature guest speaker and digital signage industry expert
Lyle Bunn (pictured). Bunn was named one of the
11 Most Influential People in Digital Signage by DigitalSignageToday.com and has served as an Adjunct
Faculty member for InfoComm University™ since 2006.
In his Roundtable presentation, Bunn will describe the key elements of today's digital signage
applications and how AV professionals can successfully meet growing demand. He will also offer a
snapshot of the market and highlight the latest trends.
In addition, attendees at both events will have a chance to network with colleagues and address a range
of business topics during lively roundtable discussions. The London and Dublin InfoComm Roundtables are
free to members and open to all other AV professionals for a minimal fee.

Hands-On Training a Big Success
InfoComm's Live Hands-On Day event, an intensive day of training on production essentials, held 4 Sept.
at Church House Conference Centre in Westminster, London, was a great success. With more than 60
industry professionals from around the U.K. and Ireland region, the event offered plenty of activities
to keep attendees engaged, including first looks at Canon's and NEC's latest 4K projector offerings,
Panasonic's user-friendly multiprojector image manipulation and Green Hippo's 4K canvas solution.
There were courses on lighting for video in large venues, acoustic intelligibility, video playback
and display, projection, video camera techniques and the latest in laser projection.
We'd like to thank our sponsors, Canon Europe, Green Hippo Limited, NEC Display Solutions United
Kingdom, Panasonic and Shure Systems Group, as well as supporting companies the Church House
Conference Centre, Creative Technology, Creative Staging and Jacobs Massey. Special thanks to the
Church House Conference Centre for also sponsoring the day's reception.
