InfoComm 2016: Bookmark This Page
Registration for InfoComm 2016, June 4-10 in Las Vegas, opens soon. Nearly 1,000 exhibitors
will show the latest technology. And for the first time, attendees can pay one price to
access more than 100 sessions and workshops — each worth CTS renewal units —
rather than register for sessions individually. If a conflict arises, attend a different
session. In an election year, who doesn't love more freedom?

How a Passion for Wildlife Led to an AV Career
Kevin Rhodus, CTS, wasn't always a systems engineer for Ohio-based
SoundCom Systems. "I did a lot of lighting and sound for theater
through middle and high school, and I was also volunteering at the Columbus Zoo as a photographer,"
he says. When the zoo started putting on shows, Rhodus (pictured) stepped to the front of the house.
As a student at Ohio State University (an InfoComm member), Rhodus became aware of the
International Communications Industries Foundation's Michael Vergauwen Scholarship program.
He applied, won and headed to the InfoComm show in Orlando. "I love the constant evolution,"
he says of his new career in AV. "There's never a dull day."
Read Rhodus' story and those of other
scholarship winners. Applications are due Feb. 29. |
