For three days in August this year, the ICC Sydney will play host to one of Australia’s most exceptional learning experiences. AVIXA and Integrate, two of Australia’s audiovisual (AV) training and education powerhouses, will team up to give potential visitors a holistic expo experience, and we cannot wait to tell you what to expect.
The 2024 event is trade-only, and in recent times, it has catered to a lineup of residential, professional, and commercial AV systems integration industries. There is always a rich array of exhibitors and speakers from various industries. If you want to attend as a visitor this year, here is what to expect.
Recap of Last Year’s Groundbreaking Expo
The Integrate Expo might have been on a long hiatus, but its comeback last year was impactful and well-attended. Over three days, over 5,000 visitors found their way to the expo grounds.
The event gathered high-profile decision-makers from the Aussie AV industry, and exhibitors showed their services, brands, and products to distributors, integrators, live events pros, AV consultants, and top manufacturers.
Potential buyers and end users weren’t left out, either, taking time to interact with their favorite brands and discover innovations.
Meet the Two Powerhouses Joining Forces to Organize Integration Expo 2024
Integrate
Integrate is a leading AV and integration trade show held every year. The organization helps organize the event, which attracts local and global manufacturers and buyers of the latest products and solutions in the AV space.
In addition to offering an exhibition platform for marketing and showcasing new products, Integrate is dedicated to assisting AV businesses in harnessing new tech and creating immersive digital experiences.
For years, the initiative has remained the premier and top AV event organizer in Australasia. Today, its vast network of opportunities is a breeding ground for informed insight and cutting-edge innovations.
AVIXA
AVIXA began in 1939 as a group of eight audiovisual dealers who formed NAVED—the National Association of Visual Education Dealers. The association was tasked with the simple but serious objective of boosting the American government’s education funding.
AVIXA prides itself on being both a society and an association. It is an umbrella association for over 11,400 members from more than 80 countries, all of whom are AV professionals worldwide.
Today, AVIXA is another leading body that engenders quality professional collaboration, community, and information in the industry. It leverages exciting tools like thought leadership, AV standards, training, certifications, and market intelligence to meet its goals.
