UPDATE: InfoComm 2020 Cancelled

Update: Cancelled

Due to the impact of COVID-19, InfoComm has made the tough call to cancel this year’s show. Originally scheduled for 6/13/20 - 6/19/20, they have decided to focus on next year, setting the dates for 6/12/21 - 6/18/21 at the Orange County Convention Center (Orlando, FL). 

While this is a fluid situation, we’ll do everything we can to keep you updated on what’s going on. Here’s what we know so far. 

Exhibitors:

InfoComm will be issuing a refund for the exhibitors, “less a pro-rata share of expenses incurred by AVIXA”. Any arrangements made for catering, internet, etc. need to be resolved through the vendors themselves. 

If you are planning on exhibiting at InfoComm 2021, you do get priority bonuses for transferring your payments to next year. Contact your account manager for next steps. 

Travel Arrangements and hotel accommodations:

Travel and accommodations made through InfoComm using Direct Travel or onPeak will be refunded with no cancellation fee. Keep your eye out for an email with the confirmation. If you don’t get one in the next couple of weeks, contact onPeak at +1.855.992.3353 or +1.312.527.7300. You can email them too, at infocomm@onpeak.com

If you were an attendee: 

You will automatically receive a refund back to the original method of payment. If you have any questions about the refund, you can email infocomm@compusystems.com or call +1.224.563.3108.

1. New This Year

• Early Bird Pricing: Register from February 3rd to March 15th to snag Exhibit Hall Passes, Seminar and Workshop Packages, Three-Day Classes, Labs, and Tours at reduced prices.
  
  
• Live Events Experience: InfoComm is pulling out all the stops with a brand new performance and presentation area. The Live Events Experience (LEX) will extend into the South Hall, providing entertainment AND showing off the latest AV technology.
  
  
• New Exhibitor Pavillion: Gain visibility by exhibiting at InfoComm's New Exhibitor Pavilion, which include presence in printed/mobile maps, inclusion in mobile traffic-building activities, and other ways to help you gain exposure. 
  
  
• South Hall Upper Level: Take advantage of traffic visiting the LEX, checking out the New Exhibitor Pavilion, heading in from shuttle drop-offs, picking up badges, and more with this strategic new location. 

2. Trade Show Booth Design Trends 

• Experiential Booths: Elaborately themed booths provide an immersive experience for attendees that transports them beyond the walls of the trade show hall. Draw crowds at InfoComm 2020 by creating a world of your own.
  
  
• Exhibits that Tell a Story: As marketing shifts to embrace a more organic, customer-centric buyer’s journey, so have trade show exhibits. Rather than acting as a four-walled billboard, use a thoughtful layout to tell your brand story while guiding attendees through your exhibit.
  
  
• Cause Marketing: Tap into the power of cause marketing by aligning your booth with a cause relevant to your brand. Issues like sustainability, hunger,diseases, inclusivity and more can tap into the hearts of attendees and set your exhibit apart from the masses.
  
  
• The “Un-Booth”: Create a hangout space, a gaming station, a meditation room, a dance party—anything but a booth! Your “un-booth” is sure to draw attendees with its intriguing appearance and plenty of “buzz.”
