In addition, AVIXA will host two half-day conferences at #ISE2018. In partnership with the AV User Group, the conference ‘Enterprise AV Integrated Experiences‘ will focus on the end user with discussions about real-world projects, exploring how to create value within an AV firm by focusing on the customer experience. In addition, the ‘Higher Education Integrated Experience Design‘ conference, in partnership with the European University Information Systems (EUNIS) and Standing Conference for Heads of Media Services (SCHOMS), will focus on transformation in the design of learning and collaboration spaces across university campuses around the globe.
AVIXA will also host FlashTracks, free 20-minute education sessions, at its stand (13-N110) on all four days of the show. These FlashTracks are designed for AV professionals of all experience levels and will focus on hot topics in the industry, such as interactive digital experiences, 4K, the user experience, and much more.
