"InfoComm is excited to deliver a highly-focused event addressing the unique communication needs of the government and military," said Randal A.

GovComm 2011 will feature more than 100 leading manufacturers of digital signage, videoconferencing and telepresence, projection, display, 3D, control systems, audio, and AV networking technologies. These solutions are critical to supporting training, command and control, communications, presentations and other net-centric AV activities performed by the government and military.
The exhibit floor will be open 9:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. on both days. Each morning will feature a keynote speaker or panel discussion.

Additionally, product- and service-specific training sessions from manufacturers will be held on the show floor concurrent with the exhibits.
Government officials, procurement officers, IT managers, AV specialists, network managers, government contractors and others will be in attendance to evaluate new products and services from industry-leading manufacturers, obtain AV specific knowledge and skills through educational courses, learn directly from manufacturers through product- and service-specific training and network with peers.
