The AV Networking Congress 2013

Networks were not invented for audio or video but for data...I suppose if they had been invented with audio/video in mind, then we wouldn’t need an AV Networking Congress.

To create an AV Networking Congress, some companies came together to bring to Amsterdam a full agenda dedicated to media networking. The list reads like a Who is Who: Atterotech, Audinate, Bosch, NTP, Link, Peavey Commercial Audio, Shure, Stagetec, Symetrix, TC Group, and Yamaha Commercial Audio are all sponsors.

The day-long conference will take place in the Holiday Inn near the RAI on January 29th. Spaces are limited so pre-Registration goes without saying. (There, I said it!)

From Large Scale Audio Networks to the corporate boardrooms of tomorrow, to networked studio broadcasting to AV network convergence, the agenda for AV Networking Congress 2013 is impressive as well as extensive.

The scheduled topics of evolution of new standards and AV installations for major events only add to the imperative to attend.

Chat rooms and LinkedIn discussions are full of “he said” and “she said” comments about AV and IT convergence. Both sides desperately need to learn more about the other’s art and science that ensure networks carry all.

Yet more than that, the switch from analogue to digital audio/video creates constant waves of innovation that we all need to follow. If we are in an age when Content is King, that makes princes out of audio and video. We’re the royalty of the network and the “future of media networking” is where the throne awaits those who are fastest on the uptake.

The technology and capabilities change so fast... it seems like meeting once a year may not even be enough. But it’s good as a start, a chance to talk about what’s happening...
And what good is talking about media networking if you can’t “walk the talk” and show the state-of-the-art?

On top of the talks, the AV Networking Congress 2013 sponsors will set up an interoperability demonstration--- the likes of which you haven’t seen before.

Here’s a look at the content and agenda...

Pre-registration is necessary. Each year the AVNC gets more room but each year it fills up fast.
