India’s largest Pro AV conference returns to the Jio World Convention Centre, Mumbai, 16–18 September 2026 — 80 speakers across 50-plus sessions and ten tracks, opening with Larsen & Toubro Group CIO Gopi Thangavel, with new on-site AVIXA CTS® certification. Free to attend.
MUMBAI, India, Aug. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The InfoComm India 2026 Summit, the education programme at India’s largest Professional Audiovisual (Pro AV) and integrated experience technology trade show, will convene 80 speakers across more than 50 sessions when InfoComm India 2026 takes place at the Jio World Convention Centre (JWCC) in Mumbai from 16–18 September 2026. Free to attend and spanning ten specialised tracks across three stages, the conference brings India’s Pro AV, IT and end-user communities together to learn from the practitioners, decision-makers and institutions shaping the industry.
Part of India’s largest Pro AV showcase
The Summit anchors what is on track to be the largest InfoComm India to date. The 2026 edition spans five halls across two levels of JWCC — Pavilion Halls 1 to 3 and Jasmine Halls 1 to 2 — with the show floor now exceeding 10,600 net square metres, up more than 17% on 2025. More than 300 global brands will exhibit, led by Platinum Partners BenQ, Crestron, Epson, Harman, Shure and Vega. India’s momentum underpins the programme: according to AVIXA’s 2025 Industry Outlook and Trends Analysis (IOTA), the country is Asia Pacific’s fastest-growing Pro AV market, having overtaken China, within a global Pro AV market projected to grow from US$332 billion in 2025 to US$402 billion by 2030.
Headlining the programme: India’s next digital leap
The conference opens on Wednesday 16 September with the flagship Opening Session, “Leading India’s Next Digital Leap: Technology, Infrastructure and the Intelligent Enterprise,” headlined by Gopi Thangavel, Group CIO of Larsen & Toubro (L&T) — one of India’s largest engineering and infrastructure groups. Drawing on L&T’s work across infrastructure, manufacturing and smart built environments, the session examines how artificial intelligence, automation and intelligent infrastructure are reshaping both industry and public services — and the leadership and investment required to drive India’s next wave of digital growth. Sessions then run across ten tracks, from audio, digital signage and broadcast to unified communications, immersive technology, AI, enterprise IT and cybersecurity.

Community and networking: Xchange LIVE
Beyond the sessions, the Summit hosts the AVIXA Xchange LIVE programme of community meet-ups — Newcomer, CTS and AV/IT gatherings, plus a Women’s Council meet-up — giving first-timers and seasoned professionals dedicated space to connect. It closes on Friday 18 September with a professional-development session, “InfoComm India AV Futures,” on where the industry goes next.
New for 2026: earn your CTS certification on-site
New this year, professionals can sit industry certification exams at the show for the first time. AVIXA will run on-site certification testing for the Certified Technology Specialist (CTS®, CTS-D and CTS-I) and Audiovisual Network Professional (ANP®) certifications, alongside prep courses for newcomers and experienced practitioners alike. The CTS credential is a globally recognised AV qualification held by more than 15,000 professionals worldwide and accredited to the ISO/IEC 17024 standard.
Exams run at JWCC on Wednesday 16 and Thursday 17 September (9:00 AM–12:00 PM and 2:00–5:00 PM IST) and Friday 18 September (9:00 AM–12:00 PM IST). Certified attendees can also earn Renewal Units (RUs) for the sessions they attend — on average five RUs per visit, making the show a fast route to maintaining certification.
The InfoComm India Summit has become the place where India’s AV and IT community comes to learn — and to lead. For 2026, it has paired the industry’s biggest conversations — AI, intelligent infrastructure and immersive experience — with the hands-on skills and certifications professionals need to act on them, so attendees can apply their learnings the very next day.
