Whether checking in on friends, reading the news or simply scrolling through social media, it’s easy to get sucked into your phone these days.

As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, many people are still under shelter-in-place orders or simply staying home as often as possible to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus. So, it’s the perfect time for businesses to meet consumers where they’re at – on their phones.

“It has been quite tremendous the shift that we’ve seen. There’s no question that digital marketing was prevalent prior to this, that’s kind of a no-brainer, but the stats … across the board we are seeing, for clients’ programs we manage, engagement rates are through the roof,” said Laura Cole, Vice President of Marketing at Vivial.

Cole said businesses need to be getting their messages out online, whether it be through Google or other search engines, on social media like Facebook and Instagram, or on mobile with properly formatted content or even messaging campaigns.

“Really, the first thing we recommend for a business is to think through those three aspects – online, social and mobile,” she said. “Think about the consumers that shop with you, how they shop and how you want your business to be represented in a way that covers all of the main facets.”

Each business is different, so how much they should be spending and what platforms they should be utilizing vary across industries. Luckily, there are experts in place like those at Vivial to help figure out how to reach consumers where they’re at and make sure businesses have the right digital marketing strategy.

End users made up 37% of InfoComm 2026's 28,132 attendees

End users made up 37% of InfoComm 2026's 28,132 attendees

AVIXA reports InfoComm 2026 drew 28,132 verified attendees from 94 countries to Las Vegas, with end users making up 37%. Microsoft and Cisco keynotes centered on AI agents for the meeting room. For enterprise workplace and IT teams, the June attendance mix and cross-platform AI pitches are timely as fall buying decisions approach.

  • 01A 37% end-user share at a pro AV trade show is a usable benchmark: more than one in three badges belonged to organizations that deploy the equipment, suggesting exhibitors may be demoing more directly to customers.
  • 02A sharper question to put to a collaboration vendor before the demo is which platform an AI meeting feature actually runs on. According to AVIXA, Cisco framed intelligent systems and open collaboration ecosystems as working across platforms including Microsoft Teams, Google Meet and Zoom, while Microsoft tied its voice agents to Teams Phone and Teams Rooms.
  • 03The 170-meter Cat5e reach BZBGEAR's Matt Richards cited to CE Pro for the XTREME-PRO, part of the XLink-ONE family that took Best of Show at InfoComm 2026 from AV Technology, is a manufacturer spec, not an independent test; for facilities with runs past 100 meters it is worth a bench check before fiber is designed out.
