Integrate 2012 Unveils Bigger and Better Exhibition & Seminar Program
Australia’s largest event for AV, Entertainment and ICT moves to the Sydney Exhibition and Convention Centre to accommodate visitor growth and new corporate focus
Diversified Exhibitions Australia today announced that Integrate 2012 – in association with InfoComm, the International Audiovisual Association – moves to the Sydney Exhibition and Convention Centre at Darling Harbour, to accommodate growth in exhibitor and visitor numbers as well as an enhanced visitor experience. The event will be held from August 21 - 23, 2012.
Now in its 4th year, Integrate is Australia’s largest audio visual, lighting, sound and information communication technology (ICT) event, featuring all of the industry’s biggest names including Panasonic, Sony, NEC, Extron, LG Electronics and AMX. More than 500 exhibitors will display the latest innovations in digital signage, education & wireless technology, lighting, audio & visual technology, unified communications, staging and production.
Integrate will also have a stronger focus on the corporate sector to cater for IT managers, Chief Financial Officers (CFO), Chief Technical Officers (CTO), integrators, consultants, architects, and commercial property developers. At the show, they will have the opportunity to see the latest lighting, presentation and communication technologies that can improve productivity and enhance decision-making in the boardroom and workplace.
Highlights of Integrate 2012 will include:
Industry Seminars & InfoComm University
Integrate 2012 will feature a wide variety of seminars and workshops covering all aspects of sound, light, vision and information communication technology. As part of the training program, the InfoComm University will return in 2012 with the Super Tuesday Program theme on the topic Net Centric AV, to explain how audio-visual technologies can be connected and controlled via Internet Protocol (IP).
In addition, there will be two half-day conferences focusing on the business & government sectors, and other educational seminars spread across the three days of the show.
AVIAs 2.0 – Audi Visual Industry Awards
