Still Going Strong After 75 Years

 


This year InfoComm International has reached an important milestone — representing the audiovisual industry for 75 years. Over time, the industry has changed, and so has InfoComm. We appreciate the strong support of our membership and the dedication of our volunteers who have built our association from a small room of educational technologists, to close to 5,000 companies and organizations. Join us this year as we explore how InfoComm is anticipating the future, empowering our industry and amplifying the industry's collective voice. Has InfoComm helped you build your career or company? Share your story, and we may feature it in a future newsletter or video.

Are You Heading to Amsterdam for ISE?

 


If you're attending ISE 2014 Feb. 4-6, you won't want to miss the following professional development and networking opportunities. There's less than a month to go, so plan accordingly. It's as easy as 1-2-3.

  1. Register for Your CTS Exam at ISE
    Again this year, you can take the CTS®, CTS®-D and CTS®-I exams at Integrated Systems Europe (ISE) in Amsterdam, Feb. 4-6. The first-come, first-served exam seats sold out last year. Start studying and save your exam seat now.
  2. Prepare for the CTS Exam Onsite
    InfoComm International is offering a CTS Study Session at ISE. The Certified Technology Specialist™ (CTS®) is recognized worldwide as the leading AV professional certification. InfoComm University™ has developed a new, one-day course designed to help you master multiple choice test-taking with timed, interactive drills using real CTS exam practice questions. On Feb. 3, the Monday before ISE opens, you will be quizzed with sample questions, test your own CTS knowledge with an instructor, and boost your confidence before you take the exam. More.
  3. Learn About Free Professional Development at ISE
    For the first time ever, attendees are welcome to take two free InfoComm International® professional development sessions at Integrated Systems Europe (ISE). Explore these sessions on technology trends, networking, systems verification and much more. Plan now to add two of these free classes to your schedule — you won't want to miss this opportunity! Please note that you can attend additional sessions for a modest fee, and that the two free classes are not transferrable. Learn more.

ISE will also showcase the latest AV technology solutions and networking opportunities. Make sure to catch Dr Dirk Schlesinger, the global lead for manufacturing industries of Cisco Consulting Services, as he presents the Opening Keynote Address, Kick-Starting the Market for Building Automation.
