This week you might like to celebrate International Women’s Day on March 8, 2023 with the AVIXA Women’s Council at their upcoming virtual event. Their quarterly meeting agenda is as follows: – Welcome, Antitrust Policy Reminder, Global Sponsor Recognition: Shure International Women’s Day: #EmbraceEquity Video Breakout Room Discussions and Takeaways Upcoming Women’s Council Events Adjourn […]

Registration for #Infocomm23 is now open. It is the turn of Orlando, FL this year of course. The exhibition takes place Wednesday to Friday June 14-16, 2023 but with the wider education programme starting earlier on Saturday June 10, 2023. Registration can be found here.

#ISE2023 returned to Barcelona early this week and I think everyone would agree that it has been extremely busy. Networking of course is always a big, some would say the biggest part, of the week and here is what Thursday has in store for you… EACH DAY OF THE SHOW. AVIXA are holding a mixer […]

Aurora has hired two new employees who start November 14, 2022; Chuck Espinoza and Marcus Yarborough who will lead and brand the education efforts at Aurora. Both join Aurora with a wealth of knowledge and personal experience for decades in the Audio-Visual industry, both were staff instructors with AVIXA for many years. Paul Harris, CEO/CTO […]

During last week’s #NYDSW, the discussion amongst #AVTweeps was the rumour that CEDIA execs are no longer talking to AVIXA execs but that possibly now pails into insignificance with the possible accusation of a toxic work culture being levelled at those nice people in Fairfax, VA. News broke over the weekend that AVIXA’s Senior Director, […]

AVIXA have announced that last week’s #InfoComm22 attracted 19,681 attendees. Not only is it less than half of the 44,000 people who attended back in 2019 (the last pre-#Covid19 pandemic event) it is actually the lowest since 2008 and says a lot about the struggles that both AVIXA and large trade shows in general are […]

Prior to #Infocomm21 AVIXA were already talking up their attendance numbers, with a wild claim sent exclusively to exhibitors just before the show of 14,000 folks having registered. Even if that number were accurate, there is of course is a big difference between those who register and those who actually turn up. The latest missive […]

Since 2017 our sister site aka.tv has shown that twitter traffic for many big shows has been falling and unlike reported attendance figures (make of that what you will) shows in general have not seen year-on-year increases in twitter traffic since then. With no in-person trade shows in 2020 and very little activity in 2021 it’s […]

InfoComm regular Christie today issued a statement on Twitter “Today we withdrew our participation in #InfoComm21, amidst the rising transmission of the Delta variant. This is difficult – we love meeting with customers and partners in-person, but we’ve prioritized health above all else. We hope to see you at #InfoComm22 #AVtweeps #ProAV”

Rumor is that AVIXA is now giving space away to exhibitors at #Infocomm21, no doubt to try and save face, although what those exhibitors who paid (and have been unable to get their money back should they have felt like backing out) think of it when it becomes public knowledge I do not know. Apparently […]
