Meet the New InfoComm CEO — Online
InfoComm CEO and Executive Director David Labuskes, CTS®, RCDD, is on the job and tackling issues important to the pro-AV industry. Maybe you've met him already; maybe you haven't. Thanks to the power of the Internet, you can pick his brain in this 30-minute interview with rAVe founder Gary Kayye.
Future Trends at Integrated Systems Europe 2013
For the third year in a row, InfoComm will host a one-day Future Trends Summit on Jan. 28, 11 a.m.-5:30 p.m., the day before the Integrated Systems Europe (ISE) 2013 trade show in Amsterdam. "For professionals wishing to plan forward for the next three to five years, Future Trends is an event not to be missed," says Terry Friesenborg, CTS, Senior Vice President for International Development at InfoComm.
Future Trends will be moderated by Clive Couldwell, editor of AV Magazine, and divided into three segments: future customer needs, future AV technologies and the future of the AV market. Check out the full schedule.
"Our industry has gone through massive, transformative changes in the last 10 years, so that the industry we represent today doesn't look like — or act like — the industry of only a decade ago. But, as with all of technology, the pace of change only accelerates," says Joel R. Rollins, CTS-R, of Everett Hall Associates.
The Future Trends Summit will take place in the Education Zone, which is conveniently located in the Elicium Building, above Hall 12 of ISE 2013. The session will be followed by the ISE keynote address by cyber illusionist Marco Tempest and ISE's 10th birthday party.
