As a video games and esports enthusiast, expert, and industry veteran, I couldn’t be more excited about InfoComm 2024 in Las Vegas! This year’s event promises an unparalleled showcase of cutting-edge technology and innovation. As a representative of rAVe [PUBS] and THE rAVe Agency, I’ll be hosting livestreams, participating in panels, conducting interviews, and doing product reviews. Let’s dive into what makes this event a potential game changer for esports through AV in schools and professional venues.

The Esports Live 2.0 Booth (a partnership between AVIXA and AVI Systems) is my top destination, where AV experts will present the latest in collegiate esports technology. Over three days, attendees can immerse themselves in live match play at the Gaming Stage, learn from expert presenters at the Coaches’ Stage, and enjoy play-by-play commentary, interviews, and podcasts at the Shoutcast Stage. The Production Stage will provide an in-depth look at tech, demonstrating how to manage livestreams or record and post content with just a few operators. The Shoutcast Stage will also highlight the broader esports community, showing how to integrate branding and sponsorships. Rocket League tournaments will be held daily, with the championship game on June 14. Esports enthusiast Austin “Austy” Champion will host, bringing his energy and expertise from HyperX Arena.

Spectrum Industries (Booth C8821) is set to impress with its ergonomic desks and modular setups, perfect for dynamic and engaging esports arenas where students can thrive academically and competitively. Similarly, Neutrik (Booth C9435) offers high-impact, scalable connectivity solutions essential for top-tier esports performance, ensuring the best connections with minimal latency and maximum speed.

Crestron (Booth C8100) offers integrated tech solutions that streamline operations on university campuses, making esports programs easier to manage and enhancing facilities for both play and academic growth. PTZOptics (Booth C10107) showcases affordable, broadcast-quality pan, tilt, and zoom cameras for professional-grade content in live events and recorded broadcasts. HARMAN (Booth C8622) delivers immersive audio, video, and lighting solutions for unforgettable esports experiences, while AVI-SPL’s (Booth C7031) digital enablement solutions transform connections, creating dynamic environments for competitive and collaborative activities.

One of the most exciting additions this year is the InfoComm AI Experience. AI is revolutionizing many industries and esports is no exception. This booth will explore AI’s potential in ProAV, offering insights on integrating AI seamlessly into processes and getting the most out of the latest tools. From personalized coaching tools to enhanced broadcast capabilities, AI is set to transform the esports landscape, and I can’t wait to see these innovations in action.

InfoComm 2024 is set to be an event to remember, packed with countless opportunities to explore the latest in AV technology and its applications in the esports industry. The chance to witness these innovations firsthand and connect with industry leaders is something I am truly looking forward to. From the bustling exhibit halls to the engaging educational sessions, this event promises a wealth of knowledge and inspiration. I can’t wait to see how these cutting-edge technologies will transform the way we experience and produce esports events. The excitement of discovering new tools and solutions that can elevate our gaming communities is truly exhilarating.

As we gather in Las Vegas, the energy and anticipation are palpable. The city itself, known for its vibrant entertainment and technological showcases, provides the perfect backdrop for InfoComm 2024.
