Futuresource Announces Pro AV Collaborative Event - A Converging World

The world of professional AV is changing at a rapid rate, moving away from sales of 'black boxes' to a world of solutions and platforms. This has driven dramatic change through the entire supply chain with new technologies and entrants supplying a channel that's having to build new skills and knowledge to adapt to the changing environment.

As the opportunities expand and competition heightens, Futuresource Consulting will deliver its second annual Pro AV conference, A Converging World, mirrored by the strategic collaboration between 6 Chinese exhibition collaboration companies at the Shenzhen Convention and Exhibition Centre on 24th February 2020.

The organisers include: 第十七届深圳国际LED展LED China 2020, 深圳国际灯光音响及智能多媒体展 Entertainment Design Expo 2020, 深圳国际商显及视听系统集成展Commercial Integration China 2020, 第十三届深圳国际数字标牌展Digital Signage2020, 第十九届深圳国际广告标识展Sign China 2020 and 深圳国际商业零售与设计师展Retail China 2020.

“This conference will keep its keen eye on display technology, which is still comfortably over half of all global revenues, but we will also consider and shed light on the newer products and solutions creating a buzz across the industry, commented Chris McIntyre-Brown, Associate Director at Futuresource Consulting. “It will deliver industry leading insights at a component, technology, manufacturing, vertical and end user level, providing a clear picture of current and future market dynamics.”

Companies confirmed for the event include a range of senior executives from CVTE, Hisense, Huawei, Kinglight, Leyard, Maxhub, Barco, Novastar, Optoma, Promethean/Netdragon, Skyworth, TCL and Unilumin, with many more to be confirmed.
