The Future of Integration Summit
Exhibition and conference venues operate like small cities, supported by a permanent layer of technology that enables every event, tenancy and visitor experience. This session explores the year-round technology infrastructure that underpins a major venue, focusing on integrated systems such as wayfinding, connectivity, control, signal distribution, operational monitoring, room management and digital services.
Rather than looking at one-off large-scale events, the discussion will examine how permanent venue environments are designed, managed and adapted to support a constant turnover of exhibitors, organisers and audiences. Panellists will explore long-term integration strategies, the realities of maintaining AV and building-tech ecosystems across multiple halls and public spaces, and the operational coordination required to keep the venue running day in and day out.
