AVIXA will host an engaging program of learning and networking, including an extensive conference program, interactive sessions with thought leaders at Xchange LIVE, a livestream of AVIXA TV from the show floor, and much more.

The vast conference program at ISE is produced by AVIXA and CEDIA with partnering associations and subject matter experts. The program includes the Smart Building Conference, Control Rooms Summit, Smart Home Technology Conference, Content Production & Distribution Summit, Digital Signage Summit, Smart Workplace Summit, Live Events Summit, and Education Technology Summit.

In addition, AVIXA and CEDIA will host a three-hour Sustainability Workshop to address the importance for the AV industry to adapt to the global issues of climate change and nature loss.

AVIXA Premium and Elite Members are eligible for an approximate 30% discount on all ISE conferences. All conferences except the Smart Home Technology Conference are eligible for CTS renewal units.

Tech Talks, presented in English and Spanish, will explore technology innovations and business developments in the AV industry. During these free sessions, attendees will hear from the creators at the Sphere, Moment Factory, u22 Film Festival, Llum 24 Barcelona, and more. The Tech Talks will take place on the ISE main stage in Hall 4, Tuesday through Thursday.

AVIXA Xchange LIVE (booth 4G300) will return to ISE with four days of sessions covering disruptive tech, environmental, social governance in AV, professional development, and much more. Xchange LIVE will also host daily meetups to mingle with peers and build new contacts.

On Wednesday, Jan. 31, the session “Is AI biased?” will discuss how AI plays an increasingly pivotal role in shaping our lives, from decision-making algorithms to personalized recommendations. However, as AI systems become more integrated into our society, concerns about bias in these systems have come to the forefront. This session will dive into this complex issue.

Also on Wednesday, the session “How can we make pro AV more sustainable?” will highlight the benefits of lifecycle analysis, responsible sourcing, and upcycling. Panelists will share their perspectives on how “green use” of AV and IT equipment can be organized, managed, and monitored.

On Thursday, Feb. 1, the session “How EdTech Can Enhance Social and Emotional Learning in the Classroom” will focus on how success in education depends on cultivating not just cognitive abilities but also emotional wellbeing and character fortitude. Qualities such as curiosity, compassion, and courage are vital for shaping well-rounded individuals. The session will discuss how developing social-emotional learning (SEL) with the help of digital tools can support learners’ healthy integration into society.

Throughout the week, AVIXA will host several networking events at Xchange LIVE, bringing together the AVIXA Women’s Council, AV marketers, education technology managers, and more groups.

KSCAPE to Launch RAIL S

KSCAPE will celebrate five years of pioneering merging technologies with the launch of RAIL S, a family of alternative solutions designed to complement and enhance the RAIL family of solutions. RAIL S Track will be unveiled to the market, which aims to seamlessly blend lighting and integrated professional sound within a traditional track system. You can see it at booth 7F300.

With a 1.2-meter design, this linear architectural lighting system combines projectors, changeable optics and other striking lighting options with professional audio powered by K-array. Encompassed within one device, RAIL S products enable the integration of professional audio and lighting technology without the risk of compromising aesthetics or interfering with an architect's designs.

Recent installations of RAIL in corporate workplaces include the new offices of U.S.-based distributor, Pavion, Armstrong Ceilings HQ in Pennsylvania, the Cleveland Museum, and the corporate offices of JLL Singapore. RAIL S is more compact, which helps to simplify installation and make its specification appropriate in a wider range of spaces. On the other hand, optional ‘plug-in’ accessories enable highly customizable lighting, including a variety of projectors and spotlights. Finally, the ability to power RAIL S products with a 48V industry-standard power supply is useful in several established markets.

Auralis, the 3D audio design and prediction software, is a 3D software application that is a multi-purpose sound design tool that enables precise, high-resolution, full-color audio predictions of your loudspeaker design in a three-dimensional space. Users can import 27 different types of files, including SketchUp (SKP) and AutoCAD (DXF) files, or easily create your own three-dimensional space. This software is intuitive with a modern user experience, you can easily navigate around your design with fingertip free-rotation and organize your design easily with named groups.

Auralis is streamlined and straightforward with clear direction to easily build or import your space and adjust the system’s mechanical information with all 1 SOUND rigging accessories. Auralis allows users to quickly put together a line array using 1 SOUND’s Tower Series, for example, and automatically splay for uniform coverage, giving a quick and accurate place to start system optimization.

Jetbuilt’s platform delivers multifaceted capabilities to sell, manage, and support projects quickly and efficiently.

In addition to empowering integrators to build, sell, and manage projects with unparalleled speed and efficiency, Jetbuilt’s platform facilitates real-time communication among diverse roles. Portal enables integrators to share pertinent information, such as project status, drawings and designs, equipment manuals and other project details, with their clients.
