Enterprise IT Program Returns to InfoComm 2024After the successful enterprise IT programming at last year's InfoComm, enterprise IT will make its return at InfoComm 2024, this June 8-14 (exhibits 12-14) at the Las Vegas Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada. This year's program will feature a new two-day AVoIP Foundations workshop, plus education sessions on topics such as IoT solutions, IT and AV system design and integration, network design, and more, as well as a meetup and a show floor tour focused on enterprise IT. "A baseline professional AV skillset today requires some basic IT competencies, and the same can now be said about IT technicians needing, at minimum, to know how to manage AV on a network plus some aspects of how AV works in a physical space," says Annette Sandler, senior director, live content, US/Canada, AVIXA, producer of InfoComm. "InfoComm 2024 will offer an essential training ground whether you are an IT tech seeking knowledge of AV systems or an AV tech working on IT systems." In the session "Combining IT and AV" on Wednesday, June 12, Keri Manasa of Legrand AV will present an overview of the market impact created by the explosion of AV over IT, cloud, and IoT solutions. The session will also explore elements of shared networks, VLANs, network management, and other developments set to impact future IT and AV system design and integration. Also on Wednesday, Laurent Masia of NETGEAR AV will lead the session "How to Design an AV over IP Network" to discuss the challenges, best practices, and solutions for designing a successful multi-switch AV-over-IP system. On Thursday, June 13, the session "Documentation and Coordination Strategies for Network Design" will provide a high-level approach to understanding coordination points between IT, AV, and the design team. Jenn Steinhardt of Shen, Milsom & Wilke will lead this session. Also on Thursday, Frank Padikkala of Audinate will demystify the fundamentals of unicast and multicast transmissions and explore the world of content distribution workflows and industry best practices in "Unicast and Multicast: Maximizing Efficiency in Content Distribution." InfoComm will host a show floor tour led by Jose Mozota of Freman Solutions on Wednesday, June 12, from 1:00pm to 3:00pm, focused on key developments in networking and cloud technologies. In addition, AVIXA Xchange Live (booth W2847) will host enterprise technology managers for an IT meetup on Wed., June 12 at 10:00am.
