InfoComm 2026 Episode 05: I need coffee

Recorded June 19, 2026

In this final InfoComm 2026 morning show, the AV SuperFriends are running on caffeine, conditioned air, and whatever energy is left after three packed days in Las Vegas. The crew recaps the previous day’s marathon of AI sessions, podcast recordings, and the wildly successful Q-SYS-sponsored “Voice of the Vertical” game show—complete with questionable judging, reluctant contestants, fire alarms, and a winning team that may or may not have known anything about AV.

From there, they look ahead to the annual hidden-gems show floor tour, including honorable mentions for the products that were worth seeing but geographically inconvenient. Along the way, the conversation wanders through AI workshops, fake dashboards, VR goggles, fiber USB-C cables, large-sensor cameras, higher-ed broadcast furniture, and whether “projectors as a service” is a nightmare, a necessity, or both.

It’s the last morning show of InfoComm 2026, and everyone is tired—but there’s still one more day of show floor wandering, AVIXA TV, questionable product scouting, and arena-rock-level enthusiasm to go.
