training classes and webinars, 2015 was an amazing year for InfoComm International® and the

the many friends we’ve made along the way.
All of us would like to thank you for your dedication to excellence in professional AV. We hope
you continue to promote the industry through your hard work and excitement, and we look forward

InfoComm to Offer Professional Development Consulting at ISE 2016
Are you going to Amsterdam for Integrated Systems Europe

The consultations will be conducted by InfoComm's Europe-based and other international staff with
the goal of helping individuals and companies identify courses of study for advancing their careers
and businesses.
The in-person, one-on-one consultations at ISE will run approximately 20 minutes each. Participants
will receive a tailored plan of training opportunities not only from InfoComm, but also from others
sources inside and outside the AV industry, including courses devoted to information technology and
networking, as well as business management. Many of the education sources that are part of InfoComm's
offering deliver free and low-cost training.
There are two ways for ISE 2016 attendees to set up a consultation:
Make an appointment
ahead of time or sign up in person during ISE at either the InfoComm FlashTrack stand 12-N100 or at
the InfoComm stand 11-N100. The free, 20-minute consultations will be held at the InfoComm stand
11-N100.
InfoComm's professional development consultations are part of the comprehensive program planned for
ISE 2016. The association's education and training lineup will feature sessions in three different
formats: InfoComm Conferences, InfoComm MasterClasses and InfoComm FlashTracks. The different formats allow attendees to choose from half-day, three-hour, or quick 20-minute courses and
presentations on a wide range of industry topics. All sessions provide renewal units toward the
Certified Technology Specialist™ (CTS®) certification.
