InfoComm 2026 Will Showcase 800+ Vendors: Why AV Integrators Should Plan Now for the AI-Focused Pavilions
InfoComm 2026, the world's largest pro AV trade show, will run June 13-19 at the Las Vegas Convention Center and is expected to draw 30,000+ AV professionals and 800+ exhibiting companies. The show's scale and focus make it the essential venue for understanding where the industry is moving over the next 18 months.
This year's emphasis is unmistakable: AI integration is moving from experimental to core infrastructure. Central Hall will showcase solutions for Command & Control, Conferencing & Collaboration, and Digital Signage—all categories now driven by intelligent automation. North Hall will feature Audio, Broadcast AV, and Lighting & Staging, where AI tools for mixing, camera automation, and adaptive lighting are reshaping what integrators need to spec.
The show will feature 250+ education sessions, hands-on product demonstrations, and networking opportunities with decision-makers at leading AV companies. For integrators, the real value is in benchmarking solutions side-by-side, evaluating emerging platforms like cloud-based control systems and predictive maintenance software, and understanding how competitors are positioning AI-enabled services.
Unlike previous years, integrators should plan this year's InfoComm visit around product evaluation for AI-ready systems. This means identifying which platforms (Q-SYS, Crestron, Extron, etc.) best support your customer base, which new hardware supports those platforms, and where managed services opportunities exist. The show floor is also where you'll learn which vendors are investing in integrator education and certification programs—a clear signal of market momentum.
What This Means for AV Integrators
InfoComm 2026 is where integrators will discover which AI-enabled products and platforms they need to master in the next 12 months. Attend with a specific strategy: benchmark control system capabilities, evaluate audio DSP intelligence, and identify which vendors offer the strongest partner programs for managed services. Your 2026-2027 competitive position depends on the bets you place on this show floor.
