AVNetworks 2010 Book your place now

It's never been more important to get networking right

Audiovisual networking has a lot riding on it. Engineers and integrators face a bewildering choice of networking protocols, but at the same time they are restricted in their choice of equipment – because of the difficulty in getting different manufacturers' kit to talk to each other.
Meanwhile, the requirements of clients are becoming more sophisticated. AV networks must evolve: to become part of larger IT networks, or to interface with other building services. If the AV community does not rise to the challenge, there is a real danger that clients will take their business elsewhere.

Held on the last day of PLASA 2010, AVNetworks 2010 provides a unique forum to debate these issues, and also to learn more about the current and future capabilities of networking protocols.

Chaired by renowned consultant Roland Hemming, AV Networks 2010 will examine the viewpoints of leading manufacturers, consultants, installers and end users – and highlight where these conflict.
