    Testimonials

    A major focus of both shows was the impact of AI and the opportunities and technologies on offer. The education programs were especially well attended with professionals keen to keep up to date with the rapid advancements we're seeing in both industries

    Soren Norgaard · Event Manager · Integrate Expo · 2023

    A successful decade-long partnership in this industry is rare and for us it signals something deeper than a vendor arrangement. We're all the same real, honest people year on year and I think that consistency is a big part of why this has worked so well for ten years

    Australia and New Zealand (ANZ)

    Why it matters

    Integrate Expo is Australia's largest AV industry event in the Southern Hemisphere and the annual meeting point for the ANZ AV community . It serves as the primary platform where professionals can see, test, and compare the latest solutions firsthand, from AI-powered systems to broadcast-ready studios . The 2026 edition is particularly significant as it reflects the accelerating convergence of broadcast and professional AV, the rise of AI in AV operations, and the growing importance of AV over IP and cloud control . With exhibition space nearly sold out and more than 120 exhibitors confirmed across 10 technology zones, the event demonstrates strong industry confidence and serves as a barometer for the health and direction of the AV sector in Australia and the broader Asia-Pacific region

    Industry trends

    Key trends shaping this market and its wider industry.

    01

    AI-powered and automated AV

    AI-driven tools are making AV smarter and easier to manage, from auto-tracking cameras and adaptive audio to real-time diagnostics. At Integrate, visitors can explore how AI is being built into meeting rooms, learning spaces, and live event workflows to create more seamless and responsive experiences

    Source
    02

    AV over IP and cloud control

    AV over IP has become the new backbone for flexible, scalable systems that run over standard IT networks. On the show floor, visitors will see how cloud-based management lets teams monitor, control, and update multi-site installations from anywhere, supporting hybrid work and always-on operations

    Source
    03

    Rise of Broadcast AV

    As corporate, government, and education organisations produce more video content, broadcast AV is moving beyond traditional studios. Integrate visitors can discover how PTZ cameras, IP-based switching, and NDI workflows are enabling in-house studios, high-quality live streams, and hybrid event production without TV-sized budgets

    Source
    04

    Immersive and interactive experiences

    High-resolution LED, 4K/8K displays, spatial audio, and interactive content are raising expectations for how spaces look and feel. At Integrate, attendees can experience these immersive technologies in action, from eye-catching digital signage and experiential retail to live event and theatre applications

    Source
    05

    Sustainable and smarter systems

    Sustainability is now a core requirement in AV design, with more energy-efficient hardware, eco-conscious materials, and smart power management. Visitors will find solutions that help reduce environmental impact while improving performance, aligning with green targets for venues, campuses, and public projects

    Source
    06

    Broadcast and Pro AV convergence

    The line between broadcast and professional AV continues to blur, driven by IP-based infrastructure (particularly SMPTE 2110) and hybrid workflows. Enterprises, universities, sporting venues and houses of worship are all producing broadcast-grade content inside AV and IT environments rather than traditional control rooms

    Decision

    Visit, exhibit, or skip?

    Should you go?

    Based on your responses, we've calculated which action makes the most sense for you at Integrate Expo 2026. This is a guide to help you decide whether to visit, exhibit, or consider skipping this year. The scoring reflects the value you'd likely gain from each option

    QUESTION 1 OF 8

    What is your primary professional role?

    Decision matrix

    Compare participation options side by side to choose the best fit for your objectives.

    visit

    You have clear purchasing interests or need to stay current; when free registration offsets travel; when education sessions address your skill gaps

    Best for

    AV professionals seeking to discover new products, learn from experts, network with peers, and evaluate the market. Ideal for end users, integrators, consultants, students, and anyone looking for solutions without a major selling agenda

    Min. budget

    $500.00

    Timeline

    1–3 days on-site; pre-register online; study the agenda to plan sessions

    Risks

    May miss out on deeper business relationships if not actively networking

    Overwhelmed by the number of exhibitors and sessions – need a plan

    Travel and accommodation costs can add up if coming from afar

    exhibit

    You have a new product or service to showcase; you're expanding in ANZ; you have a proven ROI from previous trade shows; you can commit to a professional presence

    Best for

    Manufacturers, distributors, system integrators, and technology providers looking to generate leads, launch products, strengthen brand presence, and connect with ANZ buyers. Ideal for companies with a sales team ready to engage and a compelling display

    Min. budget

    $3,000.00

    Timeline

    Plan 6–9 months ahead: secure booth, design stand, pre-show marketing, staff training, and follow-up strategy

    Risks

    High investment cost – booth, logistics, travel, staff time

    Competition for attention – need a standout exhibit

    Not all visitors may be in your target segment; need to filter leads

    Co-located events may spread visitor focus

    skip

    You have no budget; you attend similar events elsewhere; your target audience is not present; you prefer to monitor online content and follow up post-event

    Best for

    Professionals with low budget, no immediate business need, or limited time. Those who can stay informed via post-event reports, industry news, and digital engagement. Also suitable if your target market doesn't align with the event's focus

    Min. budget

    Not yet confirmed

    Timeline

    None – you can revisit next year or send a proxy

    Risks

    Missing out on early access to new technology and competitive intelligence

    Losing networking opportunities that could yield future partnerships

    Falling behind industry trends if education sessions are not consumed elsewhere
