InfoComm Intl.
Staff -- Tradeshow Week, 6/18/2007
Where: Anaheim Convention Center (rotates)
When: June 19–21 (annual)
Show manager: Jason McGraw, senior vice president of expositions
Show owner: InfoComm Intl.
Service contractor: Freeman
Who exhibits: Makers of products and services for audiovisual, video and computer communications, including software and equipment
Who attends: Dealers that sell AV presentation systems and installations; production and post-production companies; and users of these media from education, the government, health care, the military, entertainment and other industries
2006 show statistics: 432,602 net sq. ft.; 770 exhibiting firms; 18,074 professional attendees
Position on the 2007 TSW 200: 46
First year of show: 1939
New this year: A rack-building contest. System integrator exhibitors will design and build fully operational audiovisual systems on the showfloor. Attendees can enter a drawing to win the prized rack.
The bottom line: InfoComm predicts this year's show will be its biggest ever. If it were, it would be good news for more than the AV industry; it would also help Anaheim prove it can still go toe-to-toe with Las Vegas and Orlando, the show's last sites.
