It’s Tuesday afternoon in Las Vegas. The InfoComm exhibits haven’t opened yet, but education is in full swing.

For the better part of the last decade, the technology industry treated “The Cloud” like the answer to every question. Need more processing power? Cloud. Need analytics? Cloud. Need AI?

By Brandon White, Director of Product Development, Vanco International AV-over-IP has become the norm for ProAV transport and distribution, and for good reason: it offers powerful flexibility, scale and routing options that other transport approaches cannot match.

Dictionary.com defines trust as both a noun and a verb, including the following definitions: In AV Land, the idea of trust can often be fleeting. Stories of backstabbing or stealing AV projects are not uncommon. Marketing can often be misleading, using words like “zero latency” in digital audio or video systems, when most require to […]

Dear AV industry, We’re talking about our Best of InfoComm Awards a little bit early this year. These awards have always been tied to our show coverage.

AVIXA’s InfoComm show used to be the launchpad for every new ProAV product. For decades, brands would either wait until the early summer show to unveil their newest gear or drop their press releases days before the doors opened. Somewhere in the last decade, that shifted to ISE — the European counterpart to InfoComm, co-owned […]

It’s July, which means InfoComm 2025 was officially last month. The dust has settled, I’ve returned from some much-needed PTO, and I’ve had time to reflect on the show as a whole.

Now that InfoComm 2025 has wrapped, those of us in higher education have a lot to reflect on.

At many of my recent in-person presentations, I begin with the often-repeated (questionable) tale that frogs will jump out of a pot of boiling water if you try to put them in, but if you put them in cold water and turn up the heat slowly, they won’t notice the change till it’s too late. […]

Day 2 — what can I say about Day 2? Well, first of all, my Day 2 was positively packed. Interviews, tours and more is what I call it. Not only was I running around the show floor from interview to interview (and doing my very best to be on time), I also got to […]

Dear AV Industry, Mid-June is one of my favorite times of year. And every time someone asks, “What does InfoComm mean to you?” I stumble — because honestly, it means so much that I never quite know where to start. So, before I begin my ninth InfoComm, I wanted to reflect on a few of […]
