According to InfoComm International, the $55 billion worldwide audiovisual industry is poised to grow dramatically over the next several years. The demand for AV products and services is driven by the value it provides.
Whether audiovisual equipment is being used in a command and control center designed to protect critical government infrastructure, providing distance- learning opportunities, assisting medical personnel in making lifesaving diagnoses, supporting more effective presentation of important information, inspiring a congregation, bringing families together or entertaining fans at a large venue, the industry has an impact on virtually everyone's life.
The reason for this is simple-audiovisual communication has been integrated into modern society. Everything from videoconferencing and streaming media to plasma displays, surround sound speakers, digital signage and interactive whiteboards are widely present. From the classroom, to the boardroom, to a family room near you, audiovisual communications is changing the way we view and hear the world.
In recognition of the great impact that audiovisual technology has on our lives, AV Week is being celebrated from the 23rd to the 29th of October. All around the globe, people will be participating in job fairs and learning more about the art and science behind the audiovisual technologies that have been improving our world.
