The latest episode of the D-Tools "What's the Buzz" podcast features Jenn Heinold, Senior Vice President of Exhibitions, Americas for AVIXA, offering a preview of InfoComm 2026 and sharing details on the newly announced RESIDE trade show coming in 2027.

 With InfoComm 2026 just around the corner (June 13–19 at the Las Vegas Convention Center) D-Tools sat down with AVIXA's Jenn Heinold on the latest episode of our "What's the Buzz" podcast to get the inside track on what system integrators can expect. Heinold, who joined AVIXA in December 2024 after 15 years running the largest satellite technology show in the world, brought both fresh eyes and deep event industry expertise to the conversation.

 D-Tools will be exhibiting in the Work Hall at Booth C9012. Stop by on Thursday, June 18 at 2:00 p.m. for the D-Tools happy hour, a Plinko game, and prize giveaways, plus live demos of the latest innovations in D-Tools Cloud and D-Tools SI.

Show Floor Layout Built Around Work and Play

The biggest change integrators will notice at InfoComm 2026 is a completely reimagined show floor layout. AVIXA has organized the Central Hall and North Hall at the LVCC around a simple but powerful concept drawn straight from its tagline, "Together we change the way people experience the world."

 "We sat down and thought about how could we organize our solutions on the show floor to make it a more seamless and frictionless experience," Heinold explained. "We thought about how people experience the world and came up with work and play."

 Central Hall becomes the “Work Hall.” home to digital signage, conferencing and collaboration, EdTech, and retail solutions. North Hall becomes the “Play Hall,” featuring audio, lighting, staging, live event, and broadcast solutions. The idea is to help attendees navigate more intuitively and spend their time with the exhibitors and content that matter most to their business.

 AVIXA's newly launched InfoComm mobile app this year includes turn-by-turn navigation between booths, a welcome addition for attendees moving between the two halls. Visit www.infocommshow.org for full event details.
