"It's an exciting time for the industry, AV is everywhere—not just in markets across the world geographically, but also in a growing range of vertical markets, with underlying technologies that are continuing to mature," said Wargo. "These aspects help to place the industry in a strong position, despite some economic concerns globally. We're excited to share our findings from the latest research conducted by our market intelligence team, including growth areas that shine a light on what we can expect in the next few years for AV."

On Tues., Feb. 11, the AVIXA Higher Education AV Conferencewill highlight a range of different perspectives on how to enhance the learning and teaching experience through effective use of AV technologies. Among the sessions, Professor Mike Wald, University of Southampton, will show how the accessibility of AV for learning can be enriched using current technologies and discuss the potential for artificial intelligence (AI) to improve the availability of accessible AV media. In addition, Dom Pates, City, University of London, will speculate on the future use of holographic technology for academic purposes and what needs to be done to make this a reality.

Taking place on Wed., Feb. 12, the AVIXA Enterprise AV Conference will highlight the importance of data analytics within AV and explain how data insights help to deliver better workspace and meeting efficiencies. Delegates will hear examples of how analyzing business interactions through email, instant messaging, collaboration tools, and in the meeting room itself can be used to determine better workspace design, system design, and ultimately provide more effective and user-centric work and meeting spaces.

Additionally, taking place throughout the week, AVIXA will continue to host free FlashTrack sessions at stand 13-N110, covering four tracks: User Experience, AV/IT, Design, and Emerging Trends. In addition, FlashTrack attendees will earn CTS renewal credits.
