Year after year, the InfoComm International Economic Snapshot shows that the end-user influence is becoming more important in the AV install process. What's more, AV and IT technologies have become interdependent, and, in some facilities, AV and IT are so converged it's difficult to draw a line of separation between them. Yet they remain two distant areas of expertise for most of today’s technology managers. As AV devices march into the IP infrastructure, it’s critically important to share best practices and strategies for next-level design and deployment. This is why we’ve created the AV/IT Technology Leadership Summit, August 10-11, 2016, at the Affinia Hotel in New York City. This exclusive event is for technology managers in corporations, universities, government facilities, museums, health care, and transportation.
Mark Valenti, president and CEO of The Sextant Group, will kick off activities on August 10th with a dynamic keynote: "Big Payoff is The Real Disruptive Frontier – Intelligent Building Systems.”
“As AV professionals, we need to understand our changing role inside that larger universe and adapt our skills and business practices to continue our success as experts in the human experience,” Valenti stated. “Events such as this provide key decision-makers an intimate setting to help vet technology solutions and discuss ideas specific to their facility needs.”
We are so pleased to announce that Biamp, Casio, Crestron, FSR, HARMAN, Oblong Industries, Planar, a Leyard Company, and The Sextant Group are Charter Sponsors for this invitation-only event.
