Vistacom Tech Expo 2020 goes virtual

ALLENTOWN, Pa.—Vistacom, a provider of audiovisual and communications solutions, announced this week that its annual Tech Expo, which highlights the latest technology innovations from its audiovisual, control room and technology partners, will go virtual with a four-part webinar series designed to highlight the latest AV and technology innovations.

Earlier this year, Vistacom canceled the in-person expo because of ongoing concerns with the spread of coronavirus, but has decided to offer the 2020 Vistacom Tech Expo as a virtual event.

“A virtual event provides Vistacom with an avenue to reach even more attendees interested in learning more about the emerging technology that organizations are quickly adopting in response to this changing business environment,” said Vistacom Director of Sales and Marketing Dan Gundry said in the announcement. “The series brings multiple thought leaders and technology experts together to provide insight into the newest trends and solutions in the AV industry — all from the comfort of your home or office, wherever that may currently be.”

Vistacom will highlight industry veterans and thought leaders to provide a comprehensive update on the latest industry trends and predictions live via webinar series, addressing several topics over the coming weeks:

•    July 9: Implementing Hybrid Technology Solutions for a Seamless Education Experience
•    July 28: Developing a Business Continuity Communication and Digital Transformation Strategy
•    Aug. 18: Extending Situational Awareness Beyond the Control Room
•    Sept. 15: Technology-as-a-Service: Leveraging New Financial Options and Buying Models for Future-proofing Technology Upgrades

The shift to online events appears to be the new normal: technological advancements and growing challenges in today’s climate are driving innovation as recent studies show that by 2020’s end, 80 percent of internet traffic will be from virtual conferencing.

Vistacom’s Tech Expo 2020 webinar series is free to attend. The Vistacom Virtual Tech Expo is sponsored by Barco, a company that develops networked visualization solutions for a variety of markets. For those unable to attend the webinar live, register and a recording of the event will be provided.
