AVIXA announced this morning that InfoComm 2020, originally planned to be held at the Las Vegas Convention Center June 13-19, 2020,  has been canceled due to “concern for the health and safety of our exhibitors, attendees, partners and staff.”  Event organizers originally were hopeful that the show could go on, and was monitoring recommendations from the WHO and CDC, but the extreme circumstances and the size of the show made not proceeding the best choice. The full announcement is below:

With concern for the health and safety of our exhibitors, attendees, partners and staff, the show management of InfoComm and the executive leadership of AVIXA™ have chosen to cancel the InfoComm 2020 show scheduled for June 13‑19 in Las Vegas, Nevada. We are currently considering new options to bring to life the engaging and educational experiences of the show in a number of different ways.

A show like InfoComm begins months before the first crate arrives with attendees arranging calendars, booking flights, and setting meetings. It begins with exhibitors launching marketing campaigns, committing to venues for events, designing their booths and coordinating dozens if not hundreds of staff calendars. It also begins with our speakers and instructors spending countless hours honing their content and rehearsing. However, we were forced to make the painful choice to take away this gathering opportunity and return time, money and effort to our community, to be spent on sustaining each other through this trial, and to position all of the industry for recovery and resurgence.

We look forward to working with you over the coming months as the world responds to and then recovers from this crisis. And we most sincerely look forward to seeing you at InfoComm 2021 in Orlando.

Visional will see you at InfoComm 2021 on June 12-18, 2021 (Saturday-Friday) at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida.
