THE LEADING CONFERENCE FOR SYSTEM INTEGRATORS AND CLIENTS IN THE FIELDS OF PROFESSIONAL AUDIOVISUAL (PRO AV) AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY (IT).

The event will be of benefit to anyone who wants to understand where the market is heading, who to buy from and what to buy, and how to make the right choices when selecting solutions and partners. At the end of the conference, visitors can look forward to a technical tour of the AV and IT companies’ stands, featuring live demonstrations of the equipment.

A NEW FORMAT AT A NEW VENUE

The conference will take place in the format of the talk show ‘Couch-Based AV and IT Experts’ at the Timiryazev Centre.
Two presenters. Two sofas. Guests and speakers — experts with genuine knowledge and practical experience in AV and IT.

No boring presentations or rehearsed monologues. Just lively discussions, professional debates, differing viewpoints, and the genuine reactions of clients and professionals.
