InfoComm 2025: Where the Future of AV Comes to Life
What happens when artificial intelligence, ultra-bright LED displays, and sustainability collide in one place? You get InfoComm 2025 - the AV industry's most anticipated event, now underway in Orlando, Florida. If you're in AV, education, retail, or corporate tech, this is where tomorrow's tools are being unveiled today.
Running from June 11 to 14, the show floor is buzzing with energy. Thousands of professionals are exploring the latest in audio-visual innovation, from AI-powered collaboration tools to energy-efficient digital signage. The message is clear: the AV industry is evolving fast, and InfoComm is where you see it first.
Crystal Clear: Sony's Next-Gen LED Displays
Sony Professional drew early crowds with its new Crystal LED displays. These aren't just brighter - they're smarter. Designed for corporate lobbies, control rooms, and entertainment venues, the displays offer enhanced resolution and color accuracy that make traditional screens look dated. The immersive experience is so sharp, it's hard to tell where the screen ends and reality begins.
What sets them apart is not just the visual quality, but the modular design. This allows for flexible installations in spaces of any size, a feature that's already catching the eye of architects and AV integrators alike.
AI in the AV World: Smarter, Faster, More Personal
Artificial intelligence is no longer a buzzword - it's a core feature. Newline Interactive showcased AI-powered collaboration tools that adapt to how teams work. Think of a meeting room that knows who's speaking, adjusts lighting and audio automatically, and even transcribes notes in real time. It's not science fiction. It's shipping this year.
Digital signage is also getting a brain boost. Several exhibitors demonstrated AI-driven analytics that tailor content based on who's watching. A retail display, for example, can now adjust its messaging depending on the age or gender of the viewer, all while respecting privacy. This kind of personalization is already proving to increase engagement and conversion rates.
Green Tech Takes Center Stage
One of the most talked-about themes this year is sustainability. SpinetiX introduced a new line of digital signage that uses 30% less power than previous models. These displays are designed for 24/7 operation, making them ideal for airports, hospitals, and retail environments where uptime is critical and energy costs add up fast.
Other companies are following suit, with energy-efficient projectors, recyclable materials, and software that reduces idle power consumption. The AV industry is clearly responding to environmental concerns, and InfoComm 2025 is where that shift is most visible.
Workshops, Networking, and Real-World Impact
Beyond the tech, InfoComm is about people. Workshops and panels are packed with integrators, manufacturers, and end-users sharing insights and challenges. One session on hybrid workspaces highlighted how interactive displays are cutting meeting times by up to 20%, saving both time and money for large organizations.
Still, not everyone is sold. Some attendees voiced concerns about the high upfront costs of these advanced systems, especially for small businesses. But others argue the long-term ROI - in efficiency, engagement, and energy savings - makes the investment worthwhile. As one integrator put it, "You're not just buying a screen. You're buying a better experience."
Why It Matters
The AV market is projected to hit $325 billion by 2028. That's not just a number - it's a signal. Demand for immersive, intelligent, and sustainable technology is growing across sectors like education, healthcare, and retail. InfoComm 2025 is more than a trade show. It's a preview of how we'll communicate, collaborate, and connect in the years ahead.
And if the buzz on the floor is any indication, the future of AV isn't just bright - it's brilliantly intelligent.
