Manufacturers' Training

The InfoComm show is an excellent opportunity to reach your channel providers and customers with training on your products and services. InfoComm 2018 exhibitors are invited to conduct their own Manufacturers’ Training session(s) at the Las Vegas Convention Center.

The exhibitor has full discretion to determine the content and speakers for each Manufacturers’ Training session. Exhibitors may offer 90-minute seminars or 3-hour workshops. Closed sessions are no longer offered as part of the Manufacturers' Training program.

Manufacturers' Training sessions are open to all InfoComm attendees holding a valid Seminar and Workshop package. 

Please be advised that a limited number of meeting rooms are available for Manufacturers' Training. The Manufacturers' Training submission process is ongoing, so the earlier your complete your CFP submission, the more likely we will be able to accommodate your request.

Note: You must be a contracted InfoComm 2018 exhibitor to present a Manufacturers' Training session.
