It's been almost 3 years since I've been to India. In fact, the last time I was there was for the 2019 edition of the infocomm India Show. I have been very fortunate this year to have traveled to ISE in Barcelona, infocomm ic22 in Las Vegas and just a few weeks ago, Integrate in Sydney. Reconnecting with long time industry friends and yes the inevitable conversation about how Covid-19 has impacted them, their family and their businesses too. I can't wait to reconnect with all of our Industry friends and colleagues from India. As the one time and place each year that the whole industry gathers, infocomm India is the perfect place to reconnect. I also hope I see what happened at the other shows. The air of optimism, the opportunity of projects being discussed and the celebration of an industry reunited.  To that end, AVIXA is holding a member gathering on Tuesday afternoon at the show, the invites have gone out and space is limited, so please don't hesitate to contact Manoj Kumar mkumar@avixa.org if you haven't received yours yet or to confirm that you're attending. If you'd like to meet with a member of the AVIXA team, please contact our Country Manager, TS Gopalakrishnan gopal@avixa.org to book a meeting.  Finally, please plan some time to attend some of the extensive educational offerings at the show. We have some great topics and speakers lined up to share the wealth of their knowledge with you, I hope you can take advantage of that. To see whats' on and register for the show, go to https://www.infocomm-india.com/ . I do hope to see you at the show, please stop by the AVIXA Meeting Place just near the expo hall exit and say hello. Safe travels to Mumbai, see you next week. Jonathan

Hi all - I'm looking to chat with folks about a) digital product usage and b) content curation and development. For digital product usage - I'm hoping to get feedback on Xchange as it exists today, as well as some new features that are planned for the near future. One big thing we'd like to chat about is a mobile app! If you'd like to share thoughts, even quickly, let me know. For content - we're expanding our video content efforts and want to feature content from folks in the industry. If you're interested in either creating a partnership to share content you're already creating OR if you would like to be featured in some of our videos (either case studies or "how to" videos), send me a message and we can chat at ICI!

I'll be attending InfoComm India for the first time! What tips and tricks do you have for someone who is a) new to the event and b) new to Mumbai as a traveler?
