With over 25,000 attendees and more than 700 exhibitors expected, InfoComm is the annual international marketplace for rental and staging companies, systems integrators, design consultants, production studios, video professionals, dealers, independent representatives, and buyers from more than 15 vertical markets.
"Lighting and staging technologies are vital to the systems approach that visitors look for at InfoComm," said Randal A. Lemke, Ph.D., ICIA executive director. "Our partnership with PLASA Media is designed to round out the broad array of products and services at the show. As a result, our attendees benefit from the convenience of seeing everything AV in one location."
After a sold-out first year, InfoComm expanded the Lighting and Staging Pavilion to promote the latest trends in corporate event lighting, houses of worship, casinos, retail malls, video production, rental and staging, and live event production. The pavilion is also supported by ESTA, the Entertainment Services and Technology Association.
"We are very pleased to have the opportunity to work with InfoComm and ICIA, who we feel are leaders in the professional AV communications industry," said Jackie Tien, Lighting&Sound America's publisher and general manager. "We look forward to contributing to InfoComm's efforts to connect cutting edge entertainment technology companies with designers, technicians, production companies, and consultants who can specify their products for the important entertainment lighting, staging, and sound markets."
InfoComm 05 offers over 200 courses through InfoComm Academy, as well as six partner groups. In addition, a variety of networking opportunities and special events take place at the show each year, making InfoComm the annual gathering place for the professional AV industry as well as technology managers and end users from government, education, business, retail, health care, sports, entertainment, and worship markets.
