Participants announced for ISE 2016 Opening Panel Discussion

The pre-show Opening Panel Discussion will take place on Monday 8 February, the day before ISE opens. The event will be led by David Rowan, Editor-in-Chief of Wired UK magazine, who will moderate a panel made up of leading business and technology experts.

The panel will explore how the convergence of AV and IT, driven by the rapid evolution and implementation of IP technology, has created increasing technical challenges and business opportunities for the installation and integration market sector. Under the theme and title of ‘How Sensors are Bringing AV and IT Together’, the expert panel will seek to answer key questions on one of the businesses hottest topics.

Rowan commented: “IP has proven to be the ‘Great Unifier’, bringing together many diverse industries onto the network. Given the ramp-up of cloud, video, unified communications and collaboration, digital signage, smart building and mobile, this panel brings together experts to discuss how AV and IT share today’s voice/video/data network.”
