InfoComm 2026 Set to Explore AI, Cybersecurity, and Emerging Tech in Las Vegas
The 2026 edition of InfoComm, the global audiovisual (AV) industry trade show, is scheduled to open on May 18 at the Las Vegas Convention Center, according to the event’s official website. Hosted by InfoComm Global, the conference will bring together AV professionals, IT experts, and broadcasters to showcase innovations in integrated systems, digital signage, and immersive technologies.
AI Integration Takes Center Stage
Artificial intelligence is expected to dominate discussions at InfoComm 2026, with exhibitors highlighting AI-driven solutions for real-time content adaptation and smart AV systems. According to a pre-event survey by AVIXA, the trade group behind InfoComm, 78% of attendees cited AI as a top priority for 2026. “AI is no longer a futuristic concept—it’s reshaping how we design and deploy AV systems,” said Sarah Lin, AVIXA’s director of industry research.
Cybersecurity Challenges in Connected AV Systems
As AV systems become more interconnected, cybersecurity remains a critical concern. The 2026 event will feature sessions on securing networked AV infrastructure, with speakers from organizations like the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) addressing protocols for protecting sensitive data. “The convergence of AV and IT networks demands robust cybersecurity frameworks,” noted a 2024 report by the Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA).
Emerging Hardware Innovations
Exhibitors are anticipated to debut next-generation hardware, including ultra-low-latency displays and AI-powered audio processing units. Companies like Barco and Christie Digital have already announced plans to showcase prototypes of 8K-compatible projectors and edge computing devices tailored for AV applications.
