Dear
newsletter readers! This
issue of www.AVP-Newsletter.com presents you with latest news from the data-
and video projection / presentation. 1)
viscom: New conference “viscom tec.09 conference“
In any
size, on just about any material, printed, digital, mobile or web-based and
interactive, as a digital signage solution, a media façade or a large format
print: visual communication is currently facing what may be the biggest wave
of innovation in its history, confronting marketing decision-makers, media
planners, advertising agencies as well as "movers and shakers" in
the field of printing, advertising technology as well as shop fitting and trade
fair construction with new challenges. With the "viscom tec.09
conference", to be held for the first time on 30 September, on the day
before start of the international trade fair for visual communication in
Düsseldorf, viscom takes a peek into the future. It shows where advertising
communication is headed and what will be "state of the art" in the
years to come. In doing so, viscom will provide a new forum that will bring
customers from industry and commerce, agencies, media planners and productioners
from advertising technology and printing companies together in a one-day
conference with a workshop character. More: http://www.viscomtec09.com and

IS Russia 2009: New highlights at December’s Moscow show
When the
third edition of Integrated Systems Russia opens its doors on Tuesday, 8
December, it will be far more than merely another regional tradeshow for the
professional AV and electronic systems market. Co-organisers Integrated
Systems Events and MidExpo have announced a string of new attractions, all
designed to boost attendance, and increase business opportunities for
exhibitors and visitors alike. Among the new attractions will be special
pavilions for Russian manufacturers and for conferencing; a greatly enhanced
‘Digital Education’ area featuring real-world room AV solutions; and a
‘ProIntegration Awards’ programme for the Russian and CIS markets, to
celebrate best practice in regional systems design and integration. All the
new show features will be augmented with specially tailored seminars as part
of IS Russia’s enhanced education and conference programme, while the
ProIntegration Awards will be presented at a ceremony during the show’s
Opening Reception on 8 December. A number of logistical changes have also
been made to IS Russia as it returns to Moscow’s beautiful and centrally
located Gostiniy Dvor convention centre – home of the inaugural show in 2007.
This year’s show will take place over three weekdays to allow greater
flexibility for professional visitors, while the dividing line between IS
Russia and MidExpo’s co-located tradeshow, Hi-Tech Building, has now been
drawn lengthways down the hall to increase ‘cross-pollenation’ of attendees
between the two events. The
Integrated Systems Russia will be held from 8–10 December 2009. More: http://www.isrussia.ru |

Futuresource: Voting Systems market worth $400m by 2010
Interactive voting systems, or audience
participation systems, continue to flourish across the globe, with more than
eight million handsets forecast to be sold worldwide next year, according to
a new report from Futuresource Consulting. “This equates to a sales value of
nearly US$400m, 50% more than last year,” says Colin Messenger, Senior
Consultant, Futuresource Consulting. “With the bulk of the business coming
from the education technology market – which is highly recession-resistant -
we’re going to see a lot of traction for these products. The USA continues to
lead the way, and we predict one in 12 of its classrooms will have a voting
system by the end of this year, closely followed by the UK, Australia and New
Zealand. We’re also seeing penetration rates closely correlating with those
of interactive whiteboards, but on a four year time lag.” More:
