AVIXA, the Audiovisual and Integrated Experience Association, will welcome thousands of visitors to #ISE2018 and of course, it will be the first ISE since AVIXA changed its name from InfoComm International back in September 2017 (AVIXA co-owns Integrated Systems Europe, along with CEDIA).
Pamela Taggart, CTS, AVIXA Senior Director of Development for Europe told us “This is a significant ISE for AVIXA. We are excited to demonstrate our commitment to what continues to be a vibrant, growing AV industry – both in Europe and worldwide. AVIXA aims to be a business partner to all the innovative technology companies using audiovisual solutions to create experiences and generate positive outcomes.”
Attendees to #ISE2018 will make connections, gain insight, and benefit from key resources when they visit the AVIXA stands 12-N110 and 13-N110 at the RAI Amsterdam.
AVIXA attractions include:
- A New Double-Decker Stand. AVIXA will embrace the importance of experience with an all-new main stand (12-N110) that offers visitors both an area where they can mingle and learn about the association’s offerings, plus a place for more in-depth, one-on-one conversations in the second-level meeting area.
- A Chance to Attend #InfoComm18 in Las Vegas. Visitors to the main AVIXA stand can enter to win a trip to InfoComm 2018 in June. The winner will receive round-trip airfare and three nights’ hotel accommodations.
- Free Market Intelligence. AVIXA will distribute executive summaries of all four Industry Outlook and Trends Analysis (IOTA) reports, while supplies last. The landmark studies, which include market forecasts through 2022, offer in-depth analysis of the solution areas and vertical markets that are most poised for growth.
- Free Drinks and a Chance to Meet AVIXA. On Wednesday evening, Feb. 7, from 5:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. CET, AVIXA leadership and European staff welcome all industry professionals for an informal reception, including cocktails and hors d’oeuvres, at the AVIXA stand (12-N110).
- A Fresh Selection of FlashTracks Just across the RAI lobby from the main AVIXA stand, the dedicated AVIXA FlashTracks stand (13-N110) returns to ISE with a selection of more than 30 free, 20-minute education sessions, covering everything from ‘Converged Networks and What It Means to Pro AV‘ to ‘Key Principles of UX Design‘. You can learn more on those here.
In addition to activities at its stands, AVIXA will bring a robust content and professional development program to #ISE2018, starting the Monday before the show, with the European debut of its TIDE (Technology. Innovation. Design. Experience.) conference at Hotel Okura Amsterdam. TIDE explores the creative forces shaping the AV industry and how businesses can benefit from design concepts.
During #ISE2018, AVIXA’s professional development program includes four distinct education tracks that highlight changing expectations in the AV industry: User Experience, AV/IT, Design, and Emerging Trends. In addition, AVIXA will host two half-day conferences: ‘Enterprise AV Integrated Experiences‘ in partnership with the AV User Group, and ‘Higher Education Integrated Experience Design‘ in partnership with the European University Information Systems (EUNIS) and Standing Conference for Heads of Media Services (SCHOMS).
#ISE2018 attendees can participate in all AVIXA courses with an All Access Pass. The pass grants attendees entry to as many sessions as they’d like. Additionally, a joint AVIXA and CEDIA Super Pass is available, which will give attendees access to education content from both associations. More information can be found here.
