In a world buzzing with AI jargon, what does it really mean for the everyday individual, the startup dreamer, the tech-curious professional? This session takes the audience on a minimalist, story-driven journey—starting from a humble tea seller in Mumbai who unknowingly uses AI through a delivery app—to global trends in generative AI, edge computing, and emotion-aware machines.

Through a deep-dive in to the world of Artificial Intelligence for Filmed Entertainment and real-world case studies we will explore how practical AI tools empower filmmakers and free storytellers from tedious tasks in order to bolster production workflows and enable a reimagining of cinematic storytelling.

This session will explore the convergence of quantum computing and artificial intelligence, highlighting their transformative impact on professional audiovisual (Pro AV) systems and smart city infrastructures. Dr. Chakraborty will delve into real-world applications, such as AI-driven AV solutions for urban management, quantum-enhanced data processing for real-time decision-making, and the role of these technologies in creating immersive, responsive environments. Attendees will gain insights into how Quantum AI can drive efficiency, sustainability, and innovation in the rapidly evolving landscape of smart cities and Pro AV integration.

There is a growing disconnect between the excitement around AI and the reality of its usage in the workplace. Jabra’s recent global research show that while over 80% of decision-makers trust AI’s potential, day-to-day adoption remains low, especially among older employees and in smaller businesses. This session explores why that gap exists and what it means for the AV and IT industry. Using global survey data and case examples, we will explore:

• What explains the gap between AI expectation and reality
• How top-down AI mandates can undermine wellbeing and trust
• The training workforces require to become AI-ready
• Why collaborative AI use cases provide the biggest boost to morale and performance
• What the future of human and AI blended teams look like

Attendees will leave with actionable insights to guide AI deployment strategy, user enablement, and system design in an era where AI fluency and digital adaptability are becoming essential for business growth and competitive differentiation.

The rapidly emerging field of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is already transforming many aspects of the AV industry. From smart collaboration tools and advanced digital signal processing (DSP) to centralized equipment management and intelligent video conferencing, AI is elevating AV experiences to an entirely new level. As these technologies become more integrated, AV professionals must embrace this shift and leverage AI-driven innovations to deliver smarter, more personalized, and impactful solutions for clients.

Experienced sound engineers have both a technical task and a creative role to play in an event or production. Artificial Intelligence or Machine Learning tools are already appearing to assist with sound mixing or processing tasks. How can a live sound engineer make use of them to improve their ability or efficiency to develop a pleasing mix? What tools are currently available and what can we expect to see in the near future? Tips for using existing assistive mixing technology will be provided, along with suggestions for how they can speed up a sound engineer’s workflow. After all, if the methodical technical tasks can be achieved quickly, there will be more time for creative artistry. AI can improve our job prospects rather than replace us!

For new-generation graduates, proficiency in emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, Data Analytics, Cloud Computing, Cybersecurity, and Extended Reality is essential to remain competitive and relevant.

This session highlights how these future-focused skills are becoming core requirements across sectors—from IT and finance to manufacturing, healthcare, and beyond. Employers increasingly seek graduates who are not only academically qualified but also industry-ready with hands-on exposure to real-world technologies.

Higher education institutions must therefore go beyond traditional pedagogy and integrate these technologies into their teaching and learning frameworks. By embedding emerging tech into curriculum and practice, institutions can equip students with problem-solving, critical thinking, and digital agility—skills crucial for innovation and career growth.

This session explores the real-world application of AV and automation technologies from the perspective of a fresher entering the industry. Drawing on hands-on experience with projects at Tech Mahindra and PJTSAU, the presentation highlights how centralized AV control, biometric integration, and sensor-based automation can transform learning spaces and corporate environments. With a focus on hybrid collaboration, smart classrooms, and intuitive system design, it addresses the post-COVID demand for scalable, user-friendly AV solutions. The talk also touches on emerging trends such as AI-powered assistants, cloud-based AV management, and immersive technologies like AR/VR. Attendees will gain insights into project workflows—from requirement gathering to commissioning—and understand the importance of user-centric design, interoperability, and sustainability. This session is ideal for professionals and educators looking to bridge technical innovation with practical usability, making AV systems not just advanced but approachable.

In today’s hybrid work environment, most traditional office spaces fall short of employee expectations, especially for younger, tech-savvy workers. Join Korbyt’s Andrew Gildin as he explores how dynamic digital signage powered by real-time data, machine learning and AI can transform underwhelming workplaces into engaging, productivity-boosting environments. By leveraging existing hardware and an intelligent content management system, organizations can deliver hyper-targeted messaging, streamline AV usability and even personalize content based on an organization’s business objectives from deepening engagement in a corporate space to increasing productivity on the frontline of a manufacturing facility. This session covers integrations with performance data systems, AI-powered content recommendations and real-world examples of signage that informs, motivates and drives action. Attendees will walk away with strategies to modernize workplace experiences, increase meeting efficiency and improve overall worker productivity.

As businesses evolve, artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing the way we work, collaborate, and engage with technology. This panel brings together industry experts and visionaries to explore the impact of AI on technologies and the workplace of tomorrow.

Through engaging conversations and real-world examples, we will delve into the transformative potential of AI. From AI-powered automation and machine learning algorithms to intelligent chatbots and augmented reality applications, we will uncover how these advancements are enhancing productivity, and creating new opportunities for collaboration.

Professional AV technologies—such as capture and production equipment, along with content management solutions—are increasingly being adopted in non-traditional settings. These range from corporate boardrooms and large presentation auditoriums to hospitality venues and various small to mid-sized spaces.
AVIXA refers to these applications as Broadcast AV, distinguishing them from their use in conventional performance and entertainment environments.
But what exactly is Broadcast AV? What’s fueling its growth? And how significant is the revenue potential across different industries and regions?

Join us for this session to explore the answers and gain deeper insights into this emerging trend.

Step into the evolving world where AV technology meets cinematic innovation.
