Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

AVIXA™, the Audiovisual and Integrated Experience Association, and producer of InfoComm shows around the world, is committed to diversity, equity and inclusion. As a member-driven association, we are using our talent and resources, as well as that of our industry volunteers to be a voice of change — and that includes the content we produce and actions we take at InfoComm 2023. 

WHY INCLUSION IS IMPORTANT AT INFOCOMM 

We believe in creating an inclusive event where attendees interact with diverse speakers and have access to a wide range of amenities. We strive to look beyond the title of our speakers and invite them to share their unique message. Inclusion matters because everyone deserves to belong and for their story to be heard.  

OUR COMMITMENT TO DIVERSITY, EQUITY AND INCLUSION:  

At AVIXA, we believe in taking action towards more inclusive events. From our attendee experience to our speaker lineup, we have kept inclusion in mind at every step of the journey, which include wellness rooms for medical needs, gender neutral restrooms, and more. Please check back with us for details. 

ACCESSIBILITY AT INFOCOMM 

InfoComm is ADA compliant. If you need a visual, auditory, mobility or other accommodation, please let us know when you register for the show – there will be a section asking for information about specific needs you may have.
