Together, the co-located events could eclipse 9,000 attendees, 375 exhibitors and 65,000 net square feet of exhibit space.
"Hosting our second installment of InfoComm Connections in New York City makes great sense, with so many major companies and institutions located nearby," said David Labuskes, CTS, RCDD, Executive Director and CEO, InfoComm International. "We look forward to working closely with NAB to capitalize on synergies with its CCW+SATCON show and harnessing the power of the convergence of AV, IT, information communications, broadcast, content creation, production and satellite technologies to create two powerhouse days of programming and exhibits," said Labuskes.
"Attendees and exhibitors alike have much to gain from the co-location of CCW+SATCON and InfoComm Connections in a single venue," said NAB Executive Vice President of Conventions and Business Operations Chris Brown. "Combining our audiences under one roof broadens the community, providing value and opportunity unsurpassed by any event in the region.
