Share your expertise, connect with peers and customers, and advance your company and personal profile: submit a session to the InfoComm 2025 Call for Presenters (CFP).
If you are an industry insider, innovator, or technology expert who works with AV, this is your opportunity to contribute as a thought leader to one of our industry's most influential platforms. InfoComm speakers play an important role in moving the AV industry forward!
Submissions close November 15
At InfoComm and across all AVIXA platforms, we seek to create and champion an environment of giving, sharing, and mutual respect; not only for our members, but in the pronounced way our mission touches the world.
But we cannot do it alone. We need your participation and referrals because it is not a choice of expertise OR diversity: the diverse thoughts and experiences of women, non-binary genders, Black, Indigenous, and all people of color expand our industry knowledge and represent a better future for our AV community.
Most accepted CFP submissions are presented in the InfoComm Education Program, which offers over 100 vendor-neutral technical and professional training sessions with renewal unit credits. InfoComm education sessions and workshops are available for a fee and attended by over 2,000 industry professionals.
Show floor sessions at the Technology Innovation Stage, Xchange Live, and other areas are free to all InfoComm attendees. A production team curates these sessions, and a small number of CFP submitters are invited to present a show floor session.
The session type is driven by how you plan to deliver the session content. Will you be talking in front of an audience? Moderating a conversation? Leading them in practicing a skill? Submitters must select one session format during the application process. If our team thinks another format will work better, we will reach out.
Presentation: Technical content delivered by one or two speakers with key tips, solutions, and takeaways. Includes time for audience Q&A.
Panel: A discussion of a current trend or technology development from different perspectives with no more than 5 total speakers, including the moderator. Includes time for audience Q&A.
Workshop: Combination of presented content followed by an activity facilitated by the content leader, where attendees discuss in small group discussions and/or participate in Q&A facilitated by the presenter so that learners can apply and share what they have learned.
InfoComm’s training program is created by the pro AV industry, for the pro AV industry. More than 30 volunteers participate in education advisory groups to identify topics and trends that should be presented at InfoComm.

InfoComm is searching for sessions that reflect thoughtful, creative, and data-driven case studies and presentations. Speakers should ensure that the submission content is relevant to the AV industry and its communities. When submitting topic(s), speakers should keep in mind that InfoComm attendees should walk away with action items, best practices, and creative ideas they can implement right away.
InfoComm reserves the right to combine session abstracts or request changes to the session scope and format to ensure the balance of the education program.
Only unbiased, non-proprietary presentations will be considered. Using the education program as a platform for promotion of products and services is not allowed.
Note for Suppliers: If you are an industry supplier submitting a proposal, you will not be considered unless you are a contracted InfoComm 2025 exhibitor. Preference is given to suppliers who include an integrator or end user as a co-presenter.
Session date and time are not guaranteed.
All presenters must accept the terms of the InfoComm Speaker Agreement.
Due to the high volume of submitters, InfoComm is unable to provide direct feedback related to the reason a submission was not accepted.
A Supplier Speaker refers to a speaker who has a commercial interest in the audience attending InfoComm and who is considered as a potential InfoComm exhibitor. Supplier Speakers will not be considered eligible to present to a formal InfoComm audience except in the following situations:
Supplier Speaker is an exhibitor/supplier who has paid to exhibit in the InfoComm exhibition.
Supplier Speaker is a non-exhibitor who has paid for a non-exhibitor sponsorship in the InfoComm exhibition.
Supplier Speaker is invited by AVIXA Live Content Team due to needed expertise on a particular topic.
Attendees interested in education and training have varying levels of knowledge on topics presented at InfoComm. Your topic should be tailored to InfoComm’s target audiences, including technology managers and end users as well as AV/IT designers, integrators, and engineers.
