That shift matters because the industry is now being shaped by more than display specs or system design alone. Economic pressure, supply-chain strain and rapid AI adoption are changing what buyers expect, how vendors compete, and how integrators deliver value. 

“The Experience Economy Revisited” was the title of a keynote presentation offering excellent background for what attendees experienced at the Las Vegas Convention Center. A week’s worth of exhibits and sessions highlighting multi-channel media players, video walls, enterprise edge and AI processors both inspired and challenged more than 20,000 attendees.

In his presentation, Michael Sullivan-Trainor, senior industry analyst at AVIXA, the show producer, articulated the various challenges and opportunities the Pro AV industry faces as he released the results of the most recent quarterly AVIXA buyer study. 

“This presentation is primarily about the future of Pro AV and how it is redefining the Experience Economy,” Sullivan-Trainor stated in his presentation. “But before we take a step into the future, let’s take a step back. Today we view the Experience Economy by its technology characteristics; those are the provision of environments that are immersive, interactive and offering personalization. But the concept started as an economic model by management consultants Joe Pine and James Gilmore, who were in turn inspired by Alvin Toffler’s 1970 book, ‘Future Shock,’ about the disorientation we experience when technology change happens too fast.”

Many, if not most attendees at Infocomm 2026 were too young to remember Alvin Toffler’s 1970 book. In it, the futurist anticipated the world we currently live in, and he predicted the role of the “specialized experience maker,” a prediction borne out by the very existence of Infocomm. (Those who have not read the book are hereby encouraged to do so.) 

Today, differentiating through experience has become increasingly important to consumers, and Pro AV may well be the leading (though not only) enabler of that capability, as evidenced by the Infocomm 2026 show floor. The capabilities are transforming what customer experiences today’s technology can deliver.

Sullivan-Trainor cited three highlights of Pro AV’s impact on today’s customer experience transformation: 1) the industry’s resilience to economic shocks (caused by trade tariffs, wars and inflation): the AVIXA buyer study revealed that most Pro AV buyers expect to increase budgets in Q3 2026, continuing a five-year trend, 2) the emergence of the professional broadcasting grade workplace, and 3) the evolution of agentic driven experiences.

Pro AV technology goes multi-channel

While AVIXA mainly focuses on the Pro AV, broadcasting and workplace management industries, many of the observations at Infocomm increasingly apply to retail, hospitality, events, transportation and public venues.

“The show is evolving into much, much more than just one AV channel,” AVIXA CEO David Labuskes stated in an Infocomm Show Daily article. “I see more application of AV as a solution and as a delivery tool for experiences.”

This “expansion” theme cited by Labuskes speaks to the blurring of distinctions between customer experience verticals, driven by AI and other technologies. Innovations such as AI agents, conversational voice and curved LED displays that might have been designed for events, for example, can easily augment the retail customer experience.

Helen Matthews, senior market analyst at Futuresource Consulting, told the Infocomm Show Daily that AI simplifies some of the operational complexity of broadcast technology that once required an engineer. Where broadcast and Pro AV were separate industries with their own vendors, customers and operating models, Matthews noted, the two industries are converging, as was evidenced on the show floor.

Other veteran observers have noted how Pro AV technology is transforming the modern workplace, retail environments, live events and entertainment experiences. 

Sam Phenix, CEO of Phenix Consulting, told the Show Daily that effective retail environments use AV tech to support story telling, personalize content, reduce friction, improve navigation and create discovery.

But in order to accomplish this cross channel utilization, tech stacks must integrate successfully.

Integrated tech stacks emerge

To this end, a section on the exhibition floor flagged as “The Pitch,” powered by Diversified, showcased a fully integrated technology stack – including broadcast systems, control platforms, displays, collaboration tools, audio, and graphics – synchronized to power live events, dynamic sports and entertainment. Attendees explored how venues and media spaces can support everything from live game day production to decision-making and audience engagement.

Highlights at “The Pitch” included:

• Broadcast control environments that manage live feeds, graphics and real-time production workflows.
• Draft room strategy spaces designed for collaboration, data visualization and decision-making.
• Premium viewing lounges that flex between hospitality, presentations and live events.
• Fan engagement activations that transform audiences into participants through interactive, branded moments.

As noted at last month’s National Restaurant Show in Chicago, the adoption of emerging customer experience technologies oftentimes requires integrating disparate tech stacks, which in the early stages can be cumbersome. This refers to the technologies used to operate a software product, which can include the front end, back end, servers, database and support tools.

Beyond “The Pitch,” other specific exhibits and some of the education sessions took on the unified tech stack challenge. 

Meeting the tech stack challenge

Espen Løberg, vice president and general manager of collaboration devices at Cisco, noted in a keynote presentation that as organizations reimagine how and where work happens, the systems that enable collaboration – from IT infrastructure to AV to AI-driven experiences and workplace analytics – oftentimes are managed separately. This can result in complex deployments, inconsistent user experiences and limited visibility into how workspaces actually perform.

Challenges notwithstanding, the growing retail adoption of Pro AV technology was evidenced by another area on the exhibition floor flagged as “The Retail Experience,” which offered a hands-on, connected store environment. Attendees explored how AV, data and digital signage come together in the customer journey in real time, powered by integrated solutions from Samsung, BrightSign, Bluesound Professional and Poppulo. The exhibit featured a fully integrated, high-end retail mockup showcasing how audio, lighting and digital displays synchronize. From first impression to final transaction, the experience demonstrated how integrated systems personalize engagement and drive measurable business outcomes. 

Still another exhibition section, flagged “Smart Workplace,” powered by Forte, demonstrated a fully integrated technology stack – including control systems, collaboration platforms, audio, video, and analytics – working together to deliver consistent and scalable workplace solutions.  

“Smart Workplace” highlights included:

• Meeting environments designed for seamless in-room and remote participation.
• Broadcast-ready communication spaces that elevate internal and external messaging.
• Workplace intelligence systems that provide real-time visibility into space utilization and performance.
• Personalized workspaces that adapt to individual preferences and tasks.

The Kiosk Manufacturer Association (KMA), together with The Industry Group (TIG) and KioskIndustry.org, also demonstrated tech stack convergence with an exhibit featuring kiosk hardware, digital signage software, touch technology, edge AI computing, accessibility and interactive display solutions. Vendors included Insight Touch, which specializes in advanced interactive touchscreen solutions and hardware, including commercial displays, touch monitors, and interactive kiosks; SiteKiosk, which offers a kiosk software solution designed to securely lock down public-access computers, displays, and tablets into safe, tamper-proof digital signage or interactive kiosks; and URway Holdings, which provides conversational voice with its AI Connect Bar that combines microphones with a speaker system into one sleek peripheral with a single USB connection to attach to touchscreen computers and kiosks.

10 takeaways

Following are 10 takeaways from the show.

1. AI continues to drive innovation, but the adoption is still in its early stage. Espen Løberg, vice president of product management at Cisco Collaboration Devices, noted in his keynote presentation that there is a gap between what AI promises and what the current physical infrastructure offers. AI is already being used by the majority (65%) of Pro AV users surveyed by AVIXA, but adoption of agentic AI, which automatically plans and takes action, lags. Most are using generative AI or AI assistants, which allow faster integration of information, but it does not change the workflow or procedures. To allow greater adoption of agentic capability into the Pro AV operations, governance and security frameworks are needed.
2. As AI and automation create new capabilities, vendors must provide unified tech stacks to enable customers to optimize their technology investments. As noted in point number one, the current infrastructure does not sufficiently support AI adoption, which unified tech stacks can address. To this end, Cisco introduced its Connected Intelligence, demonstrating how integrated AV, IT, and AI-driven infrastructure can bring together collaboration platforms, devices, networks and AI-enabled infrastructure to deliver more seamless, scalable and intelligent workplace experiences. Creston Electronics, for its part, showed Collab Compute, which features next-generation hardware core for scalable collaboration, delivering enterprise-grade performance, AV integration and AI-ready Windows OS compute for meeting spaces. In addition, Forte demonstrated a series of interconnected spaces – from arrival and social areas to meeting rooms, personal workspaces, and a broadcast center.
3. Immersive retail continues to make strides, as evidenced by The Retail Experience as well as many other exhibits. According to AVIXA’s 2026 Industry Trends report, businesses and organizations are looking for more engaging methods to present information, leading to the growing presence of video walls and immersive displays. The Retail Experience exhibit featured fully integrated, high-end retail mockup showcasing how audio, lighting and digital displays synchronize. From first impression to final transaction, the experience demonstrated how integrated systems personalize engagement and drive measurable business outcomes. Other exhibits demonstrated avatars, video walls, microLEDs, conversational voice, gesture recognition, facial recognition, ePaper, holograms and chatboxes.
4. Broadcast AV, the use of broadcast quality equipment, workflows and standards outside traditional media, is on the rise, cited by AVIXA as the second largest solution area in ProAV. Infocomm dedicated its first broadcast “AV zone” on the show floor to highlight the hardware and software driving precision performance in live events and content creation. Exhibits included production control and automation, IP and cloud integration, immersive technology and live event hubs. The term describes the application of broadcast quality equipment in markets outside traditional entertainment and media, and it naturally finds a place in environments where live video has become operationally critical. The growth has been especially strong in workplace settings, boosted by the pandemic and AI-driven production. 
5. AI-enabled conversational voice continues to surge. An interactive experience, conversational voice can greet guests, answer questions, provide directions and engage in natural, multi-lingual conversations in real time. URway Holdings, part of the Kiosk Manufacturer Association exhibit, presented its AI Connect Bar which combines a beam-forming microphone array with amplified speaker system for voice-first interaction, enabling conversational voice in self-service environments. In addition, Glass-Media introduced its AI-enabled transparent concierge kiosk which combines LG Electronics’ 55-inch transparent OLED commercial display with Glass-Media’s battery-powered enclosure, integrated high-definition camera and conversational AI technology. In addition, Ed Crowley, UR Holdings, chief engagement officer, said conversational voice will become the “horizontal solution” during a panel session on how AI and intelligent systems create connected experiences.
6. Technology needs to become less visible to the customer. The customer, be they at retail, at work, or at an event, is interested in a fast, easy and fulfilling customer experience. They are not interested in “how” it works. “When you integrate AI the right way, your customer shouldn’t even notice,” Alec Mauer, director of experience at Neon Studios, said during a panel session. “They want convenience, speed and accuracy,” agreed panelist Ed Crowley, chief engagement officer at UR Holdings. “If you can give them those things, they really don’t care if it’s AI, human or not.” The point was further underscored by exhibits on the show floor that emphasized minimizing hardware visibility, such as Christie, a provider of projection, LED video walls, image processing and interactive visualization; Epson America Inc., a provider of digital imaging, printing and automation solutions; and MSI, a provider of business and productivity computing solutions.
7. To succeed, technology must consider the best interest of all the stakeholders: the provider, the venue and the customer. Simple as it sounds, some observers noted this has not always been the case. Case in point: why do reports show that many people have a negative perception of grocery self checkout? A panel session on how AI and intelligent systems create connected experiences noted that grocery self checkout was not sufficiently vetted, resulting in a negative customer experience. “If that (technology) comes at the expense of the shopper experience…you’re not really creating a net win.” said panelist Mario Paganini, chief marketing officer at Mashgin, an AI-powered self-checkout system using computer vision and machine learning to instantly identify items without barcodes. By testing the customer experience and gaining the support of the on-site employees, the store has a better chance of serving the customers successfully, delivering a triple win: the manufacturer, the venue and the customer.
8. Workplace concierge services, boosted by the pandemic, continue to expand, tapping AI-enabled meetings and emerging AV broadcasting technologies. AVIXA’s 2026 Industry Trends report cited meeting interoperability as one of the top five Pro AV trends, central to enabling hybrid work and cross-platform collaboration. Organizations will increasingly value systems that let participants join calls from any service or endpoint with ease, ensuring that meetings are easy to start and manage regardless of conferencing tools. The “Smart Workplace” exhibit on the show floor demonstrated a fully integrated technology stack – including control systems, collaboration platforms, audio, video, and analytics – working together to deliver consistent and scalable workplace solutions. Exhibits offering workplace technology included AISpeech, Appspace, Barco, Cisco, Creston Electronics, Envoy, HP Inc. and Humly.
9. Transparency and information privacy continue to drive customer concerns about experience technology. One panel noted that ethical and effective AI in public displays requires balancing personalization with privacy. By deploying edge-based sensors, anonymized data and transparent governance frameworks, displays can deliver context-aware signage without compromising personal identities or violating government privacy regulations. Another panel on how AI creates connected experiences tackled the need to balance convenience with trust and transparency. Panelist Ed Crowley of URHoldings said brands that inform customers how they handle data win more trust and strengthen brand loyalty. On the show floor, Avalue Technology Inc. introduced privacy display technology in its computers to enhance information security while MSI introduced all-in-one PCs that integrate a pop-up webcam providing on-demand privacy.
10. ADA compliance continues to enhance the customer experience. Studies have shown that most people hold a more positive view of businesses that work to be inclusive. The ADA requires that facilities first occupied on or after Jan. 26, 1993 meet or exceed minimum requirements, while alterations to facilities, spaces or elements (including renovations) on or after Jan. 26, 1992 also must comply. One Infocomm session explored universal design for ADA in the context of accessible course materials and future-proofing AV systems. On the show floor, Peerless-AV highlighted its ADA-compliant SmartMount Ultra-Slim Universal Scissor Wall Mount and accessories while Heckler highlighted its Heckler Framework that enables AV teams to autonomously commission fully functional video meeting rooms while supporting ADA compliant floor AV displays.

Beyond the special sections, specific exhibits addressed the various challenges the Pro AV faces in expanding its capabilities.

BlueZoo Inc.

BlueZoo Inc. announced the addition of Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) measurement capabilities to its sensor platform, expanding the company’s audience measurement solution with higher precision for small-zone and short-dwell retail environments.

The addition of BLE detection enables finer-grain measurement in compact spaces where high frequency smartphone advertising signals can provide additional insight into movement and engagement, despite the shorter range of BLE signals.

Designed for small zones and short dwell times,
BLE technology has become increasingly prevalent in modern smartphones as mobile applications use BLE advertisements to announce their presence to nearby devices and peripherals. BlueZoo sensors now passively listen for these BLE advertisements and use them to measure impressions, occupancy and dwell time within spaces as small as one meter in radius.

BLE can be effective for measuring short dwell times with higher temporal precision, and counting fast-moving audiences of signage with small viewsheds (e.g., in-aisle).

Compared to Wi-Fi, the company noted BLE has limitations that should be taken into consideration:
• BLE detection zones are small, making it unsuitable for medium/large signage or out-of-home measurement,
• Fewer than half of smartphones in circulation emit BLE advertisements, introducing measurement uncertainty.
• BLE does not provide unique visitor analysis or traffic flow insights.

BlueZoo Inc. also demonstrated its AI-powered, in-store video advertising optimization agent, built on Google’s AI technology. The company showed how AI-generated advertising variations can be combined with BlueZoo’s real-time audience measurement to evaluate audience engagement and help optimize creative performance in physical environments.

NowSignage

NowSignage, a provider of digital signage solutions, demonstrated how signage can operate through three core customer behaviors: react, personalize and influence.

Digital signage that reacts and adjusts based on live conditions such as time of day, stock levels and customer activity ensures content reflects what is actually available and relevant. In QSR environments, this supports daypart menus, availability updates and prompts linked to ordering behavior. In retail, it helps align window and in store messaging with weather, seasonality, and footfall patterns.

Personalization succeeds when it reflects store context rather than trying to target individuals in isolation. In QSR, this can mean adapting menus based on location type, trading patterns or local demand. A commuter site may focus on speed led meals, while a leisure location may highlight bundles or sharing options. Over time, content reflects performance at store level rather than a single national template. In retail, personalization can extend to local events, seasonal relevance or loyalty driven messaging, ensuring each store communicates in a way that fits its audience and environment.

Influence is about supporting decisions at key moments in the customer journey. In QSR, this starts at the window with relevant offers that encourage entry, continues in store with clear menu navigation, and extends to the point of ordering with prompts that support upgrades or add ons. In retail, the same journey applies, from window engagement to in store discovery, to checkout messaging that supports final purchase decisions. Across both sectors, the most effective influence reduces hesitation rather than adding pressure.
