"This year's InfoComm was the most interactive and engaging event we've ever produced," says Jenn Heinold, senior vice president, expositions, Americas, AVIXA, producer of InfoComm. "From keynotes with live demos and hands-on learning to immersive activations like Smart Workplace, The Pitch, Retail Experience, and AVIXA TV, attendees weren't just hearing about the future of AV, IT, broadcast, and AI. They experienced it firsthand."

Artificial intelligence emerged as a defining theme throughout the event, spanning keynote presentations, education sessions, show floor experiences, and exhibitor demonstrations.

Among them, The Pitch, powered by Diversified, showcased the convergence of sports, broadcast, live events, and fan engagement technologies through a dynamic environment featuring production workflows, collaboration spaces, premium hospitality experiences, and interactive audience engagement.

Also, AVIXA TV transformed the show floor into a working broadcast studio, showcasing live production workflows, content creation, and industry conversations while providing attendees with a hands-on look at the technologies and techniques driving today's broadcast and media environments.
