InfoComm—it's how we connect. InfoComm is the world’s most vital pro AV show. Where the unseen technology behind our modern lives is at work and at play. Transparent 3D LED screens. Mixing boards used by the biggest touring artists. And massive control rooms broadcasting sports, viral videos and more. ​ It’s where global brands launch new products and where you’ll tap into a vast network of extraordinary humans changing how we experience the world. From the coffee we smart brew to the concert we jam to—and all the moments in between. Lift the curtain on what’s powering connection today. And cue the lights for what’s powering it tomorrow.

Tavius Aiton

Senior Account Executive , ELB US

My professional journey began with a deep love for music, starting with creating mixtapes in high school and eventually leading to opportunities as a DJ and Producer. This passion for performance and sound naturally evolved into the world of acoustics, where I founded a company focused on acoustic integration. That unique background gave me a foundational understanding of the technical and creative aspects of sound, which I've leveraged throughout my career in the commercial audiovisual industry. For over two decades, I've excelled in both sales and project management, specializing in design-build turnkey services. I'm skilled at bringing the right resources together to ensure project success. My philosophy is simple: I work for my clients, and my company/resources work for us—a partnership built on shared success. I look forward to connecting with fellow professionals who are passionate about the future of AV and IT.
