# The Top 5 Things to See at InfoComm19
InfoComm stands as the premier trade show for commercial audiovisual solutions in the United States. With over 1,000 exhibitors and thousands of products filling the Orlando Convention Center, strategic planning becomes essential to maximize your time and investment.
This year's show promises breakthrough technologies and networking opportunities that will shape the future of commercial AV integration. Here are the five must-see highlights that deserve your attention.
## Revolutionary Display Technologies
### **LG's Flexible OLED Screen**
LG's rollable OLED display represents a fundamental shift in how we think about screen integration in commercial spaces. This innovative screen retracts into a compact enclosure when not in use, then rises to create a stunning display on demand.
The implications for commercial design are significant. Imagine seamlessly integrating screens into conference room credenzas, reception desk mantles, or boardroom furniture without compromising aesthetic appeal. When inverted, this 110-inch diagonal screen can function as a drop-down display, eliminating traditional projector limitations while delivering superior brightness and contrast ratios that perform well even in high-ambient-light environments.
### **Digital Projection's Insight 8K Projector**
For large-scale installations where projection remains the optimal solution, Digital Projection's Insight 8K projector offers remarkable capabilities. This single unit delivers resolution equivalent to sixteen 1080p projectors without the complexity of edge blending multiple units.
What makes this projector truly exceptional is the content quality. Digital Projection uses 8K native content at 16 bits per color, creating images with such depth and clarity they appear three-dimensional. This advancement in color depth and processing creates viewing experiences that approach looking through an actual window.
## Companies Reshaping the Industry
### **QSC's Ecosystem Approach**
QSC has undergone a remarkable transformation from a professional live sound company to a comprehensive AV solutions provider. Their current portfolio spans video over IP products, network switches, IP cameras, control system software, amplifiers, DSPs, and speakers.
This holistic approach offers commercial designers and integrators a unified ecosystem that simplifies specification and installation while ensuring compatibility across all system components. Their deep market experience and technical expertise make them valuable partners for complex commercial projects.
### **Williams AV's Professional Innovation**
Williams AV deserves recognition as one of the industry's most innovative yet underappreciated companies. Under the leadership of Rob Sheeley and Tom Mingo, they've developed professional-grade Bluetooth hardware that addresses the growing integration of personal devices in commercial environments.
As the boundaries between personal and professional technology continue to blur, understanding robust Bluetooth implementation becomes crucial for creating seamless user experiences in modern workspaces.
## Essential Networking Opportunity
### **AVintheAM: Where Digital Meets Physical**
The #AVintheAM event represents a unique opportunity to connect with industry thought leaders in person. This gathering of the Twitter AV community, initiated by Chris Neto of Starin Marketing, brings together professionals who generate millions of impressions weekly through their online discussions.
Scheduled for Thursday, June 13 from 8:30-9:30 AM, this meetup offers the chance to engage face-to-face with influencers who are actively shaping industry conversations and trends.
