InfoComm 2026

InfoComm 2026 is the world's most vital professional audiovisual trade show — produced by AVIXA (Audiovisual and Integrated Experience Association) and held at the Las Vegas Convention Center from June 17 to 19, with the broader InfoComm education week running June 13 through 19. Over 30,000 to 44,000 AV professionals descend on the LVCC each June for a show that spans virtually every corner of commercial audio, visual, and integrated technology: conferencing and collaboration platforms, professional LED and display technology, digital signage, broadcast and streaming infrastructure, live event production, immersive audio, security and surveillance, and the enterprise IT integration layer that increasingly underlies all of it. InfoComm is where products are launched, where integrators meet manufacturers face to face, and where the industry's informal deal-making happens in booth meetings and hospitality suites across the Convention Center campus.

The 2026 show occupies the LVCC North and Central Halls — the same massive footprint that accommodates CES, the Consumer Electronics Show, in January. The convention center's 4.6 million square feet make it one of the largest purpose-built trade show facilities in the world, a scale that matches the scope of the AV industry's reach across commercial real estate, healthcare, education, government, hospitality, and entertainment. Exhibit hall doors open at 9:00 AM on Wednesday June 17 and Thursday June 18, with Friday June 19 running a shortened schedule closing at 3:00 PM or 4:00 PM — the traditional half-day final day that gives exhibitors time to begin teardown while attendees complete their floor walk and final booth conversations. Pre-show education and AVIXA CTS certification sessions begin Saturday June 13, giving serious attendees a full week in Las Vegas before the show floor opens.

**Why Las Vegas — and Why InfoComm**

The professional AV industry chose Las Vegas as its permanent InfoComm home for a reason that goes beyond logistics, though the logistics are genuinely superior: the LVCC's scale, the airport's connectivity to every major North American city, the hotel infrastructure, and the proximity of entertainment options for after-hours hospitality events. The deeper reason is that Las Vegas is the world's most concentrated demonstration environment for professional AV technology. Every major Strip nightclub and dayclub is a live product showcase — L-Acoustics, d&b audiotechnik, Clair Brothers, and Meyer Sound systems that AV professionals specify in commercial installations run at full capacity nightly at XS Nightclub, Hakkasan, OMNIA Nightclub, and Encore Beach Club. LED walls that InfoComm exhibitors demo on the show floor are deployed at production scale in the DJ booths and stage environments of Zouk Nightclub and Drais Beach Club. When InfoComm wraps its exhibit day, AV professionals step directly into the world's densest application environment for the products they spent all day evaluating.

This creates a specific sub-culture at InfoComm Las Vegas: the after-hours conversation among integrators, engineers, and manufacturers about what they're hearing and seeing in the Strip venues they visit. Attendees who run AV installations for corporate offices, universities, and commercial buildings spend their afternoons at panels on conferencing codecs and their evenings experiencing what the industry looks like when budget is no constraint and the design intent is maximum spectacle. The gap between enterprise AV and entertainment AV is the professional conversation that runs through every InfoComm Las Vegas week.

**The Juneteenth Weekend Overlap — What It Means for InfoComm 2026**

InfoComm 2026's final exhibit day lands on June 19, 2026 — Juneteenth, the federal holiday commemorating the announcement of emancipation in Texas on June 19, 1865. Federal holiday status since 2021 has transformed Juneteenth into one of the summer's most significant Las Vegas demand drivers: millions of federal employees, state government workers, and corporate employees with Juneteenth leave turn the Friday into an extended weekend that rivals small holiday periods. Every major Las Vegas dayclub and nightclub runs full headliner programming on June 19 and the Saturday that follows (June 20).

The practical implication for InfoComm attendees: if your conference schedule clears by mid-afternoon on Friday June 19, you have access to what will be the highest-demand Friday night on the Las Vegas Strip between Memorial Day Weekend and the Fourth of July. Gryffin headlines XS Nightclub at Wynn Las Vegas at 10:30 PM — his melodic electronic catalog, including Gravity (feat. MisterWives), Hurt People (feat. Bebe Rexha), and his 2024 album Alive, creating one of the most artistically distinct nightclub experiences available on the Strip that night. Steve Aoki brings his theatrical electro house show to OMNIA Nightclub at Caesars Palace at 10:30 PM. Kehlani performs live at LIV Nightclub at Fontainebleau — an R&B headliner booking that directly honors Juneteenth's cultural significance, and one of the few live vocal performances at a Las Vegas nightclub during the summer calendar.

Saturday June 20 is when the post-InfoComm entertainment reaches its peak. The Chainsmokers headline Encore Beach Club at Wynn Las Vegas from 11:00 AM — their annual EBC summer appearance that consistently draws one of the largest pool party crowds outside of Memorial Day Weekend. Martin Garrix with opening support from Justin Mylo anchors OMNIA Dayclub at Caesars Palace simultaneously from 11:00 AM. Tiësto takes LIV Beach at Fontainebleau at 11:30 AM. Three of the top-ten globally-streamed electronic producers playing simultaneously at three different Las Vegas venues on the Saturday morning after InfoComm closes is not a coincidence — it is exactly the kind of programming that a Juneteenth weekend with strong convention-driven demand attracts.

For InfoComm attendees extending their Las Vegas stay through the weekend, the Juneteenth Saturday trio of Chainsmokers at EBC, Martin Garrix at OMNIA Dayclub, and Tiësto at LIV Beach represents the strongest post-convention entertainment package available at any major North American trade show. The convention town experience is part of what Las Vegas sells to every major trade show — and InfoComm 2026 delivers it with unusual clarity.

**Navigating the Las Vegas Convention Center**

The LVCC's North and Central Halls span approximately 2.5 million square feet of combined exhibit space. InfoComm 2026 fills both halls with product demonstrating running simultaneously across multiple aisles per hall. Navigation requires a plan: download the InfoComm 2026 official app before arriving and use the exhibitor search and floor map tools to create a prioritized booth list. The most common mistake at LVCC-scale shows is attempting to cover the floor systematically — start with your five highest-priority booths each day, then use the remaining time for discovery. Badge pickup runs through the West Hall lobby with express kiosk lanes for pre-registered attendees; first-time badge pickup takes 3-5 minutes at express kiosks, 15-30 minutes at staffed registration counters during peak Wednesday morning hours. Arrive before 8:30 AM Wednesday to pick up your badge without the midmorning rush.

The Center Stage and demo rooms at InfoComm operate on separate schedules from the exhibit hall and often run presentations before hall doors open at 9:00 AM. AVIXA education sessions — covering AV project management, system design, display technology, and collaboration solutions — run throughout the week and require separate registration from the exhibit hall pass. CTS (Certified Technology Specialist) exams and renewal courses are available on-site with advance registration; testing slots at major AVIXA shows fill weeks ahead of the event.

**Getting to the LVCC from the Strip**

The Las Vegas Convention Center sits at 3150 Paradise Road, approximately 1.5 to 2 miles east of the mid-Strip hotel cluster. Transportation options from Strip hotels include the Las Vegas Monorail (Convention Center station: $5 one-way, 3-4 minute journey from MGM Grand station), rideshare services (Uber and Lyft drop off on Convention Center Drive with no additional surcharge), and the Convention Center Loop operated by The Boring Company (electric vehicles, $3 per trip, connects West Hall to Convention Center stations). The Loop reduces the walking distance inside the LVCC significantly and is worth using if you need to move between halls quickly. Taxi drop-off at the main Convention Center entrance is also available but less convenient given rideshare prevalence.

For InfoComm attendees staying at Strip hotels, the monorail is the most cost-effective option for solo or two-person groups. For groups of three or more, rideshare pricing is competitive and faster. Most InfoComm attendees accumulate 8,000-12,000 steps per day between show floor walking and hotel-to-LVCC commuting — plan for comfortable shoes and appropriate foot support.

**Where to Stay for InfoComm 2026**

The closest Strip hotels to the LVCC are clustered in the mid-Strip and north-Strip areas. Resorts World Las Vegas sits directly across Paradise Road from the Convention Center Loop entrance — it is the single most convenient hotel for InfoComm attendees, and its Zouk Nightclub (a world-class AV installation in its own right) and Ayu Dayclub are accessible without leaving the property. Wynn Las Vegas is a 5-minute rideshare from the LVCC and a 20-minute walk, providing access to XS Nightclub and Encore Beach Club after hours. The Las Vegas Hilton at Resorts World and the Westgate Las Vegas (formerly the Las Vegas Hilton, 500 feet from the Convention Center) are the most logistics-efficient options for attendees prioritizing show floor access over Strip entertainment.

Caesars Palace mid-Strip provides access to OMNIA Dayclub, OMNIA Nightclub, and the OMNIA Skybar — relevant for attendees who want to experience the new 2026 dayclub alongside the InfoComm show. The 15-minute rideshare to the LVCC from Caesars is a reasonable tradeoff for access to the industry's most discussed new Las Vegas venue of the year. MGM Grand is the starting point for the Las Vegas Monorail, making it the best hotel for monorail-dependent InfoComm commuters. Fontainebleau Las Vegas at the north Strip offers the newest hotel facilities and LIV Nightclub on-property, with a 10-minute rideshare to the LVCC.

**Why Pro AV Professionals and Las Vegas Nightclubs Are a Natural Match**

The professional AV community's after-hours enthusiasm for Las Vegas nightclubs is not incidental — it is a case study in audience-environment match. AV professionals spend their careers designing and specifying systems that most people interact with without noticing: the PA at a conference room, the video wall at a sports bar, the conference system in a boardroom. In Las Vegas nightclubs, those same technologies are deployed at the extreme end of their capability envelope, visible and audible to everyone in the room, and explicitly designed to be noticed. Walking into Hakkasan Nightclub and standing beneath d&b audiotechnik point source systems deployed at 105 dB SPL is a different experience when you can identify the equipment, understand the signal chain, and appreciate the room correction work behind it.

XS Nightclub's system installation — L-Acoustics arrays driving one of the most technically accomplished permanent club installations in the world — is the kind of showcase that no product brochure can replicate. OMNIA Nightclub's circular design and L-ISA immersive audio deployment represent exactly the kind of next-generation spatial audio integration that fills InfoComm sessions on immersive audio design. Zouk Nightclub at Resorts World incorporates one of the most sophisticated real-time lighting and AV integration systems in North America into its regular nightly operation. For AV professionals, Las Vegas nightclubs function as a live product demonstration that runs 365 nights a year, fully operational, at full load, with a critical audience of tens of thousands of nightly visitors who came specifically for the experience.

**Thursday June 18 — Midweek Nightlife During InfoComm**

Thursday night at InfoComm traditionally skews toward manufacturer-hosted parties and industry mixers — a significant fraction of the after-hours social calendar is accounted for before attendees even consider hitting the Strip independently. Manufacturer parties are announced in the weeks before the show through AVIXA networks, industry publications like SCN and AVNetwork, and manufacturer social channels. Attendance at manufacturer parties is free and typically includes open bar; the best events are at venue spaces within Strip hotels and offer legitimate networking alongside the free hospitality.

After manufacturer parties wind down — typically 9:00-10:30 PM — the Strip nightclub circuit is accessible. For Thursday night during InfoComm week, Zouk Nightclub at Resorts World is the most convenient option for attendees staying at or near the north Strip: a 10-minute walk from the LVCC area and a world-class production environment. OMNIA Nightclub at Caesars Palace offers the Caesars Palace hotel setting and the direct connection to OMNIA Dayclub's pool deck for those exploring the new venue. XS Nightclub at Wynn Las Vegas draws a strong Thursday night crowd with regular resident programming.

**Friday June 19 — Juneteenth, Last Day of InfoComm**

The final InfoComm exhibit day is a deliberately efficient half-day: most attendees complete their booth visits by noon, attend any remaining must-see sessions in the afternoon, and clear out of the LVCC by 3:00-4:00 PM. This creates a Friday afternoon with unusual freedom for a conference travel week — and the Juneteenth designation of June 19, 2026 means the Strip is at peak Friday demand.

The Friday June 19 dayclub circuit at Las Vegas runs full programming through 6:00 PM. Alex Wann holds Encore Beach Club at Wynn Las Vegas from 11:00 AM. Vandelux performs a DJ set at TAO Beach Dayclub at The Venetian from 11:00 AM. Coco and Breezy headline Marquee Dayclub at The Cosmopolitan as part of the Beatport Fridays residency series. All three dayclubs offer guest list access on a standard Friday — sign up through NoCoverVegas for free entry and reduced-cover access before cutoff at 12:00-1:00 PM.

For InfoComm attendees who clear the LVCC by 1:00 PM Friday and want a pool afternoon before the night begins: Encore Beach Club at Wynn Las Vegas is a 15-minute rideshare from the Convention Center and provides access to XS Nightclub at the same property for the evening transition. The Wynn Nightlife two-venue pipeline — EBC in the afternoon, XS at night — is the most logistically clean day-to-night Las Vegas combination on the Juneteenth Friday.

**Gryffin at XS Nightclub — Friday June 19**

The standout Friday June 19 nightclub booking for InfoComm 2026 is Gryffin at XS Nightclub at Wynn Las Vegas. XS is one of the two premier Las Vegas nightclubs for electronic music programming alongside OMNIA Nightclub — its L-Acoustics system, Rockwell Group design, and Wynn Las Vegas production budget place it at the apex of what Las Vegas club infrastructure can deliver. Gryffin — the Los Angeles producer and DJ born Griffin William Hana — built his profile through melodic electronic productions that carry genuine emotional content: Gravity (feat. MisterWives), Hurt People (feat. Bebe Rexha), Whole Heart (feat. Bipolar Sunshine), Ready to Love, and his 2024 full-length album Alive. His sets are built from atmospheric layering into dance floor peaks, appealing to listeners who want melodic electronic depth alongside club energy — and his Las Vegas bookings are relatively rare compared to residency regulars, making each appearance premium for his fanbase. For InfoComm attendees familiar with XS from previous convention years, the Gryffin Friday is worth noting on the calendar well before arrival.

**Saturday June 20 — The Post-Conference Weekend**

Saturday June 20 is when the Las Vegas Juneteenth weekend delivers its main event. Three globally significant DJs headline three separate venues simultaneously in the afternoon, then the nightclub circuit sustains the energy through the following morning.

The Chainsmokers at Encore Beach Club from 11:00 AM is the headline of the dayclub circuit. Alex Pall and Drew Taggart's catalog spanning Don't Let Me Down, Closer, Something Just Like This, and Paris is some of the most universally recognizable electronic pop production of the last decade, and their annual EBC summer appearances have become benchmark events in the Wynn Nightlife calendar. EBC fills to capacity within 30-45 minutes of doors opening when The Chainsmokers are booked — arrive at 11:00 AM for good positioning. Martin Garrix with Justin Mylo opening anchors OMNIA Dayclub at Caesars Palace simultaneously: the new 46,000-square-foot Tao Group venue, opened May 15, 2026, presents one of its first post-opening high-headliner Saturdays. Tiësto headlines LIV Beach at Fontainebleau at 11:30 AM — his multi-decade Las Vegas relationship and current progressive house catalog delivering reliable dayclub programming for a crowd that overlaps with the InfoComm attendee demographic that has been in Las Vegas all week. For later in the summer, Fisher holds a recurring OMNIA Dayclub residency slot — his June 27 date is one week after the InfoComm weekend and available for attendees extending their Las Vegas stay.

**Guest List Strategy for InfoComm Week**

Trade show conferences generate a specific Las Vegas nightlife demand pattern: large groups of professionals, expense accounts available for business entertainment, a preference for efficient logistics over discovery, and concentration in the mid-June window when standard summer demand is below holiday peak. Guest list access during InfoComm week is generally easier than holiday periods — Memorial Day Weekend, Fourth of July, and Labor Day all draw higher consumer demand than the professional AV community week in June. The exception is the Juneteenth weekend: Saturday June 20's Chainsmokers, Garrix, and Tiësto simultaneous bookings draw consumer tourism demand that is not driven by InfoComm, and guest list on that Saturday should be booked 5-7 days in advance.

Sign up via NoCoverVegas for free guest list access at all major Las Vegas nightclubs and dayclubs. For InfoComm attendees in corporate groups, table service at any major venue provides guaranteed entry for the full group and allows expense-account billing — a common format for manufacturer hospitality. Guest list covers solo and couple access on most non-headliner nights and provides significant savings on the accumulated cover charges across a five-night InfoComm week.
