InfoComm 2020 cancelled

AVIXA has cancelled the 2020 InfoComm Show, which was due to take place from 17–19 June at the Las Vegas Convention Center, citing the health and safety of its exhibitors, attendees, partners and staff as the reason as the Covid-19 pandemic continues.

‘This was not a decision we made lightly, but with careful consideration and as advised by public health authorities,’ said AVIXA CEO, Dave Labuskes. ‘Thankfully, we did not have to make it alone and are grateful to our InfoComm community, exhibitor advisory committee, education committees and so many others who supported our desire to not jeopardise the livelihoods and long-term gains of the industry. InfoComm is not just an AVIXA trade show, it is the industry's show and it is important that we move forward to the benefit of the entire community.’

Labuskes noted that AVIXA could not fully deliver on InfoComm’s expectations and consequently could not move forward. ‘More importantly, keeping the community safe and healthy is our highest priority; therefore, we are following the guidelines of public health authorities during the ongoing challenges posed by Covid-19. InfoComm show management is evaluating the best path forward for bringing the high calibre, engaging content that InfoComm has come to be known for, and we ask for stakeholders' patience as we do so. We are committed to exploring all possible alternatives that will bring to light the engaging discussions, industry thought-leadership, product information and best-in-class education that our attendees have come to expect from the show.’

While the 2020 edition is no more, InfoComm 2021 is scheduled to take place from 12–18 June next year at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida.
