As we enter 2026, the Pro AV industry has moved beyond being a utility to becoming a core driver of business intelligence and organizational culture. This opening panel explores the "Intelligence Economy", a landscape where AI, data-driven insights, and human-centric design converge to create Strategic Experiences.
The panel will discuss how leaders are moving beyond hardware specifications to focus on high-level business outcomes, sustainable innovation, and the strategic integration of AV technology into the unified enterprise stack. This session is designed to provide leaders with the foresight needed to navigate the complexities of 2026 and beyond.
Built environments are changing, and with them, the role of AV. What was once focused on systems and delivery is now increasingly about how spaces operate, respond, and support the people inside them.
This session takes a grounded look at how new technologies and data‑led approaches are shaping real AV environments today - from early design decisions to day‑to‑day operations. Bringing together industry perspectives and end‑user experience, the panel will explore what’s working, what’s evolving, and how organisations can make informed choices as AV becomes a more strategic part of the built environment.
Large-format LED displays are becoming centrepieces of campuses, workplaces, and public spaces, but success takes more than choosing the right screen. This panel brings together integrators, technology specialists, creatives, and end users to explore what it really takes to make LED installations work harder over time. Covering everything from digital signage and feature walls to immersive, interactive, and broadcast-led environments, the discussion focuses on outcomes, collaboration, and designing LED experiences that deliver long-term value.
This opening sets the context for AI’s growing role in the AV industry. Attendees are grounded in why AI matters now, how it is already appearing in AV workflows, and what the next two hours will deliver. The session frames AI as a practical capability rather than a disruptive threat, helping both AV professionals and end users align expectations around real-world value, responsible adoption, and skills relevance.
This keynote demystifies AI for the AV community by separating hype from reality. It explores where AI is genuinely transforming AV - from operations to user experience and where fundamentals like system design, human creativity, and trusted partnerships remain unchanged. Attendees gain a strategic understanding of AI’s role in AV today, helping them make informed decisions rather than reactive investments.
This session focuses on how AI is improving the efficiency and reliability of AV systems behind the scenes. From predictive maintenance and smarter monitoring to AI-assisted troubleshooting, the talk highlights practical tools already in use across enterprise and venue environments. Attendees learn how AI can reduce downtime, improve service delivery, and free AV teams from repetitive operational tasks.
Exploring AI on the experience-facing side of AV, this session looks at how intelligent tools are reshaping content creation and audience engagement. Topics include generative content, adaptive digital signage, and data-informed experience design. Attendees gain insight into how AI supports creativity and personalization while reinforcing the importance of human intent, ethics, and storytelling in immersive environments.
Industry leaders from integration, technology, and end-user organizations share honest perspectives on adopting AI in AV. The discussion addresses what is working, where challenges remain, and how teams are building trust around data, security, and reliability. Panelists also explore skills transformation and ethical considerations, giving attendees a realistic view of what successful AI adoption looks like today.
The final session distills key insights from the mini conference into clear, actionable takeaways. Attendees leave with a practical mindset for evaluating AI solutions, prioritizing real problems over trends, and planning next steps for learning and adoption. The session reinforces how AVIXA, Integrate, and industry partners can support continued education and responsible innovation in the AI-enabled AV landscape.
AV as a Service (AVaaS) is transforming how organisations design, deploy, and maintain technology-enabled experiences. This panel brings together integrators, end-users, and technology providers to unpack what AVaaS really means - moving beyond products to performance, outcomes, and ongoing value. Explore real-world use cases, business model shifts from CapEx to OpEx, and the operational realities of managed AV environments. Attendees will gain practical insights into when AVaaS works best, key success factors, and what the future holds for the AV industry.
As teaching models evolve, higher education institutions are planning beyond immediate needs and looking at what AV will require in the years ahead. This forward‑looking panel explores emerging technologies and trends shaping the future of campus AV — from AI and analytics to immersive learning environments and cloud‑based management. Drawn from real institutional planning and pilot projects, the discussion offers insight into how universities evaluate new technologies, manage risk, and prepare their teams and systems for what’s next.
Networked AV is now a design, business, and operational conversation- not just a technical one. This panel explores how AVoIP is reshaping system architecture, workflows, and long‑term strategy across enterprise, higher ed, venues, and beyond. Panelists share real‑world lessons, emerging trends, and applied innovations that connect technology choices with design intent, business outcomes, and day‑to‑day operations, helping the AV community make smarter decisions as the industry continues to converge with IT.
Collaboration today looks very different from the past. Across workplaces, classrooms, and public environments, people now engage in more flexible, hybrid, and dynamic ways that challenge traditional space and technology models.
This panel explores what it takes to create collaboration environments that work in practice. Drawing on both industry and end‑user perspectives, the discussion focuses on how AV, IT, and space design come together to support real behaviour and real outcomes. Expect practical insights and shared lessons on designing collaboration experiences that are engaging, inclusive, and built to adapt over time.
In line with International Women’s Day 2026’s “Give to Gain” theme, this panel explores why inclusive leadership is no longer a “nice to have,” but a measurable driver of growth, innovation, and resilience. Drawing from real leadership experience across industries, speakers will share how giving access, visibility, opportunity, and trust leads to stronger teams, better decisions, and long‑term success, for organisations and individuals alike.
Broadcast AV is rapidly evolving from fixed, hardware‑centric environments into flexible, IP‑based and software‑driven content ecosystems. As enterprises, institutions, and venues take on the role of broadcasters, AV professionals are being asked to design systems that blend broadcast quality with AV and IT workflows. This forward‑looking panel explores how cloud production, virtualised control rooms, and AV‑IT convergence are reshaping live and hybrid content delivery and what this means for skills, system design, and audience experience over the next 3–5 years.
The future of live production is being shaped by experience design as much as technology. As immersive environments, AI‑assisted tools, broadcast workflows, and data‑driven insights converge, the focus is shifting toward how audiences feel, engage, and participate in live experiences. This panel explores how emerging production models are enabling more immersive, adaptive, and meaningful events and how the decisions made behind the console directly shape audience impact. Attendees will gain insight into how to design future‑ready live experiences, not just operate them.
Audio is rapidly evolving from a supporting system into an intelligent, experience‑defining layer of the built environment. In this forward‑looking panel, industry leaders explore how AI, software‑defined audio, networked systems, and immersive sound are reshaping how we design, deploy, and experience audio. From workplaces and learning environments to public venues, this session examines what’s next for audio and what AV professionals and end‑users should be preparing for today.
