The three-day InfoComm Asia 2023 came to a close on 26 May, marking another successful showing for the annual event. This year’s 38% larger InfoComm Asia – featuring 160 exhibiting companies from 18 countries, some 60 of whom are new at the Show – attracted 7,298 unique business visitors from all over Asia.

THE EXHIBITION

Where Valuable Tech Discoveries and Partnerships are Made

Visitors comprised of AudioVisual (AV) and IT professionals looking to stay updated and for collaborative opportunities, entrepreneurs in search of technology-based inspirations, and technology end-users seeking solutions to advance their organizations and businesses. The energetic interactions on the show floor and comments that emerged reveal what a rewarding outing it had been.

Exhibitor Aleksandr Yakimov, Business Development Manager, Unilumin enthused, “We have had a remarkable experience at the Show, and our participation has been consistently strong. The Asia Pacific region holds immense potential as a robust market, and we anticipate significant growth.”

“We’ve had very good response at the Show, having met so many end-users from different parts of the region. And as such we have even decided to expand our space for next year,” another exhibitor, Jerry Park, Executive Director, Crestron added. “We’re very excited to tap on InfoComm Asia as a catalyst to drive and promote our technologies and solutions.”

Some exhibitors – Jabra and Bose, for example – even took the opportunity to gather more than 150 of their regional partners and distributers collectively in one location, in conjunction with InfoComm Asia, and conducted their own activities to deepen connections with their associates.

INVITED GUEST PROGRAM

Top-profile Solution Seekers from All Over Asia Get Inspired by Latest Solutions and Technologies

Among the business visitors, InfoComm Asia hosted close to 600 key senior decision-makers – 65% more than last year – under the Invited Guest Program. From Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Laos, The Philippines and various parts of Thailand outside of Bangkok, these guests come from government agencies involved in education, healthcare, defense and security, smart cities, urban planning, transportation and citizen services, as well as private sectors involved in retail, media and advertising, and real estate development.

Invited Guest Andi Permadi, Director of Operational & Digital Transformation, PT Jakarta Tourisindo (Jakarta Experience Board) beamed as he commented, “InfoComm Asia offers unique opportunities to see the latest AudioVisual technologies in the market which is exactly what we need now. The products and solutions featured at the Show can help accelerate the digital transformation and efficiency in our organization.”

Mr Permadi also added that PT Jakarta Tourisindo is currently renovating seven of their hotels in Indonesia and this is the best time for him to explore new AV technologies that can be implemented in those properties.

Another Invited Guest was glad to have been accorded the chance to see first-hand and up-close the latest technologies and solutions in action. Nguyen Xuan Tung, Deputy Head of Academic Office, Hanoi University of Science and Technology said, “Through the Invited Guest Program, I now have the opportunity to meet face- to-face with solution providers, talk to them, and experience live product demonstrations to understand the solutions better.”

THE SUMMITS AND AV TECHNICAL TOURS

Where Sharing, Learning and Networking Open Minds and Doors

The InfoComm Asia Summit and NIXT Summit saw 1,057 delegates attended the 42 free-to-attend learning sessions, which cut across five different tracks, each catering to a different vertical market like education, retail, healthcare, agriculture, smart cities and urban planning, banking and finance, and enterprise. Delegates found these sessions highly relevant in addressing current and foreseeable challenges facing vertical market decision-makers and AV industry stakeholders.

Fernando Paras, Vice Chancellor for Planning and Development, University of the Philippines expressed, “Attending the Summits, I learnt a great deal, including current trends and future direction in the education sector.”

Some 87 visitors joined the fast booked-out AV Technical Tours that provided a close-up live presentation of Hikvision’s customizable, high-performing LED screens that were recently installed in the meeting rooms and along high-traffic routes at the newly-built Queen Sirikit National Convention Center.

INFOCOMM ASIA 2024

Anticipation for a Larger Showcase with Expanded Halls

“At the close of this year’s Show, more than 90% of the exhibitors have booked their booth space for InfoComm Asia 2024 Show. Next year’s Show will occupy halls 2, 3 and 4 of the same venue, a 50% increase in show floor space compared to this year,” said Alicia Chen, Project Director, InfoCommAsia.

FOR ASIA’S TOP-LEVEL DECISION-MAKERS AND BUYERS
Guided Show Floor Tours that Enhance Visitor Experience

Through the Invited Guest Program, nearly 600 key senior decision-makers – 65% more than last year – from Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Laos, and the Philippines, as well as Thais from outside Bangkok, are being welcomed at InfoComm Asia 2023. They represent government agencies involved in education, healthcare, defense and security, smart cities, urban planning, transportation and citizen services, as well as industry and business leaders in retail, media and advertising, and real estate development.

With much ground to cover, the 600 vertical market solution-seekers will participate in a specially planned Guided Show Floor Tour for a personal introduction to leading solution providers and their latest technology and product offerings. Post-tour, they will have the opportunity to further connect with the exhibitors and learn more about their solutions up-close.

LEARNING SPACE FOR ALL
Insights into Current, Evolving and Future Technologies and Market Trends

InfoComm Asia continues to inspire and invigorate visionary leaders and organizational decision-makers at its signature learning platforms – InfoComm Asia Summit and NIXT Summit. Over the three show days, visitors can look forward to more than 40 free-to-attend sessions across five different tracks that are either co- organized with or supported by local Thai government agencies, trade associations and institutes of higher learning. These sessions address current and foreseeable challenges facing vertical market decision-makers and AV industry stakeholders, and deliver key learning points for overcoming these challenges inspired by real- life use cases.

Summit highlights on 24 May (Day 1) include the following:

– At Asia AV Leaders Connect, specially-invited Professional AV Industry’s C-suite and Directorate-level Leaders will have the opportunity to network and share knowledge on industry trends and emerging technology disruptions, and to identify future growth opportunities and potential collaborations. This segment is anchored by a talk on “Global Pro-AV Market Trends in the Next 3 – 5 Years” – highly apt in light of the current incredible pace of evolution of communication, collaboration and user experience technologies.

– NIXT Summit highlights emerging tech-driven integrated solutions. This year’s focus is on the Education and Retail industries. The program for each of these industries will culminate in a by invitation-only networking reception for top professionals from the respective industries.

– The ever-popular AV Technical Tour was quickly booked out the moment registration opened. Tour participants will be treated to a close-up live presentation of Hikvision’s customizable, high-performing yet easy-to-maintain LED screen, in addition to its application in meeting rooms as well as along high-traffic routes at the newly-built Queen Sirikit National Convention Center (QSNCC).

As InfoComm Asia Summit and NIXT Summit continue over the next two days, delegates from AV and IT channel as well as vertical markets can look forward to more learning sessions across dedicated tracks – namely, Industry Forums, DSS InfoComm Asia 2023, AV Training sessions and a second round of the AV Technical Tour.

The 3-day InfoComm Southeast Asia 2022 at the Bangkok International Trade and Exhibition Centre (BITEC) came to a close on 4 November 2022. Returning in-person for the first time since its launch in 2019, Asia’s premier Professional AudioVisual (Pro-AV) and Transformative Technology Exhibition and Summit saw exhibitors, visitors and delegates from 22 countries. It was non-stop action across the Exhibition show floor and the various Summit session venues.

“The enthusiasm we saw among our exhibitors and visitors was striking,” said Richard Tan, Executive Director of InfoCommAsia. “Amidst the impressive array of technological developments were intensive personal conversations and exciting forward-looking collaborations. The Pro-AV industry continues to undergo vast transformation and rapid development, and InfoComm Southeast Asia is one of the key marketplaces to make new connections.”

6,593 visitors came to InfoComm Southeast Asia 2022, with the majority arriving from Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam. The Show also welcomed visitors from the rest of Asia, including China, India, Japan and South Korea. It was clear that the whole of Asia is ready to transform and seize the unprecedented opportunities in this post-pandemic era. And they were in for a treat with this year’s event highlights – many of which would not have been possible without the support from our 138 partners, including government agencies as well as industry and technology associations.

INSPIRATIONS ON THE SHOW FLOOR

130 exhibiting companies from 18 participating countries showcased a wide array of innovative AV-driven technologies and solutions that businesses could tap on to transform, gain lead and be ready for marketplace trends. 41 exhibiting companies participated in the Show for the first time, including brands like Adder Technology, Black Box, Bose, Christie Digital Systems, Jabra, Microsoft Teams, Riedel, Vega Global, and more. Among the cutting-edge innovations on show, there were 174 new product launches.

Solution-seekers in industries ranging from education to transportation, hospitality to healthcare, retail to enterprise, could find the answers they need at InfoComm Southeast Asia 2022.

Exhibitor Claude Sabourin, Business Development Director, SCHOT, beamed as he shared, “We had many consultants and owners of businesses visit our booth – the people who are really decision-makers or influencers, and that’s very good. These visitors were from Korea, Japan, Vietnam, Cambodia, Indonesia – different parts of Asia. The wide reach we achieved was good.”

PRO-AV SOLUTIONS LIVE IN ACTION – THE SHOW HIGHLIGHTS

The Future of Immersive Experiences added a multi-sensory dimension to the visitor experience. This 15×5- square-metre walk-though gave visitors a glimpse into the future of visual and immersive storytelling, which converges art, technology and sensory experiences. “The Gateway to the Metaverse” featured real- time generative effects based on user interaction; “The Next-level of Projection Mapping” brought a car- like object to life with effects and animation; and “A New Holographic Experience” showcased the Pro-AV technology that is increasingly applied in the Location Based Experience (LBX) industry, such as experience centers, theme parks, theatres and live performances. This entire space was fully designed, system-built and integrated by Vega Global, in partnership with disguise, and with equipment contributions from Christie, Panasonic, BenQ and Lighting & Equipment.

The off-site AV Technical Tour on Day 2 – fully-booked weeks before the Show opened – offered a first- hand experience to see AV technology at work. Dozens of visitors were given the valuable opportunity to visit the Expressway Authority of Thailand (EXAT). The “Smart Traffic Systems – Expressway Traffic Management Centre and Control Rooms” tour took them into the very heart of command-and-control scenarios, to see how advanced technologies and control systems have enabled the EXAT to effectively and efficiently provide the best experience for expressway users.

HOSTED AND PERSONALISED ENGAGEMENT

Through the Invited Guests Program, InfoComm Southeast Asia specially invited and hosted 252 key and senior decision-makers from Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore and Vietnam. Many came from government agencies involved in education, healthcare, security, defense, transportation and citizen services. Others were key industry leaders in retail, media and advertising, and real estate development. Guided tours around the show floor with personal introduction to leading solution providers paved the way for further engagement thereafter.

“My organization is embarking on a new project that requires new Pro-AV solutions in the next 12 to 24 months, and this visit to InfoComm Southeast Asia was very timely because I was able to obtain all the relevant information I need and also explore the wide selection of products and solutions,” said Mat Amir Bin Yaacob, Senior Engineer, Ministry of Defence, Malaysia.

Elmer Francisco Sarmiento, Undersecretary for Maritime, Department of Transportation, Philippines enthused, “There were many new advanced technologies at the Show that could help drive digital transformation within the government. I’ve also seen many products and solutions embedded with artificial intelligence that would be very useful in ensuring the smooth running of government functions.”

THE SUMMIT FOR INFORMED BUSINESS DECISIONS WITH INVALUABLE INSIGHTS

Free-to-attend learning sessions were delivered under various tracks – Asia AV Leaders Connect, AVIXA Seminars, AV Managers Day, Industry Forums, and Plenary – targeted at different delegate profiles.

Learning sessions under the concurrent 2-day NIXT Summit provided another application perspective as it focuses on end-to-end emerging tech solutions for businesses. A total of 32 sessions were organized, and some were in collaboration with industry associations, including Association of Thai Software Industry and Museum Association of Thailand.

EXTENDED SOLUTION DISCOVERY – POST-SHOW BENEFITS

Months before the InfoComm Southeast Asia 2022, visitors were introduced to the intuitive business matching system, information-rich vBooth (every exhibitor has a one-page microsite to showcase their full and on-show offerings), business card drop facility and appointment scheduler – tools on the Show website that facilitated self-personalized engagement with solution providers.

Solution-seekers who fully utilized these tools found their time at the Show highly productive and efficient. For visitors who missed connecting with solution providers they intended to meet onsite, InfoComm Southeast Asia is availing these tools for another two months post-Show.

The 2022 Show may be over, but the benefits it brings to growing businesses continue.

INFOCOMM ASIA 2023 – A WIDER MARKETPLACE

“Speaking with the InfoComm team, I hear that the Show will be expanded next year to become InfoComm Asia,” Matthew Deayton, Deputy Chief Executive Officer, Vega Global added, “This means we will get even more visitors to our booth coming from northern countries like Japan and South Korea, and South Australia and New Zealand as well. I feel this Show will become a real centerpiece for the Asia-Pacific market.”

InfoComm Asia, as this show will be renamed from 2023, will play an increasingly important role in providing a platform for global manufacturers interested in developing a strong presence in the Asia-Pacific market to congregate at one place where their companies can be introduced or their latest solutions can be revealed, and where they can invite their customers from all over the region to experience their innovations – while enjoying the inexpensive hospitality of Bangkok.

InfoComm Asia 2023 will run from 24-26 May 2023 at the Queen Sirikit National Convention Center (QSNCC), Bangkok, Thailand. Admission is free. For more information and the latest updates, please visit www.infocomm-asia.com.
