Beijing InfoComm China 2026 Defies Economic Headwinds with over 300 Key Exhibitors and Brands with World-wide Footprints Converging to Map AI-Driven AV Transformation Amid Market Consolidation
BEIJING, April 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Beijing InfoComm China 2026 concluded at China National Convention Center (CNCC), marking a 20-year milestone as Asia’s most influential Professional Audio-Visual (Pro AV) and integrated experience platform. This year’s edition reinforced the show’s position as a critical gateway to China’s rapidly evolving digital economy and the broader APAC market with 52% of the professional audience holding direct purchasing authority and 55% representing the critical Pro AV and IT distribution channel. Hosting over 300 exhibiting companies with global footprints, the show successfully bridged China’s digital innovation with a high-intent international delegation from more than 60 nations, where 8 out of 10 delegates held final decision-making power in Pro AV and technology purchases.
Building Communities Beyond the Traditional Trade Show
As global markets tighten and face with challenges, Beijing InfoComm China focused the 2026 edition to grow the event in specific directions executing initiatives based upon continuous feedback from the Pro AV community.
Day one of InfoComm China 2026 also hosted the first edition of the Beijing InfoComm China Executive Roundtable, which saw the convergence of an elite group of over 30 executives and CEOs from across the world and China in a strategic exchange themed “Forging Tomorrow’s Competitiveness: Co-creating a Global Strategic Vision with China Industry Leaders.” Participants included John Bailey, Senior Vice President Technology & Innovation of AVI-SPL, Jeff Stoebner, CEO of FORTE, Kane Zhang, CTO of EZ Pro, Kenneth Wang, Global Business Director of Vega Global Limited. Other significant representations included Newline Interactive, the LED Display Application Branch of COEMA, Creator Corporation, NovaStar, Hisense, Soundking, TCL, Taiden, ESCO, AISpeech, Q-SYS, Unilumin, and more (see the full list of participating organizations below).
The session established a critical strategic consensus: AI must be leveraged as a practical tool for solving real-world customer pain points and driving operational efficiency, rather than being pursued as an end in itself. Furthermore, these global leaders reinforced that authentic human-to-human connection and uncompromised quality remain the industry’s ultimate competitive moats within the current complex global economy.
The Show welcomed more than 300 exhibiting companies and brands who connected with some 52% of professional visitors holding direct purchasing authority, ensuring conversations on the show floor translated into real business opportunities. A key indicator of this high-value environment was the surge in purchase intent; for instance, Wang Zhaofeng, Brand Director at Audfly Technology Suzhou Co., Ltd, anticipated contract finalizations as early as the week after the show. He noted a higher density of high-intent buyers with immediate purchase intent at the booth and to better showcase their products, they have committed to a larger booth space for next year.
With Pro AV and IT Channel attendees making up 55% of the show attendees, Beijing InfoComm China reinforced its essential role as the primary engine for regional distribution pf new innovations and solutions, and community network. The presence of strong AV and IT Channel Partners directly facilitates the show’s evolution into a high-velocity transactional hub, where 61% of channel professionals were identified as actively seeking solutions for immediate project deployment. This year also saw the most diverse international delegation representing 63 nations – a significant jump from 46 nations in 2025 – with 8 out of 10 holding final purchasing authority.

This year’s edition saw 64% of buyers from government and corporate entities with direct purchasing authority, representing a year-on-year increase, while 46% of visitors from the education sector represent key decision-makers, marking a steady rise from the previous year. Additionally, in the cultural tourism and entertainment sectors, more than 50% of attendees possessed final purchasing authority for audiovisual projects, underscoring the intense demand for professional AV solutions driven by experiential sector upgrades. This underscores the robust purchasing influence and project decision-making power among vertical market tech buyers, and directly reflects the commitment of Beijing InfoComm China to attract a high-value audience and enhance attendee precision.
Global Strategic Engagement
With a strong emphasis on global engagement, the event saw significant participation from countries including Malaysia, South Korea, Singapore, Kazakhstan, India, Indonesia, Thailand, Japan and Vietnam. 42% identified as C-level management, while 61% identified as Pro AV/IT channel professionals signifying strong intent in regional system integrators, distributors and dealers seeking new innovations and solutions for active projects.
The 2026 edition took major strides in its global buyer campaign by launching a wide-reaching Invited Guest Program. This program curated and hosted 98 international and local high-value system integrators, and vertical market end-users from hospitality, government, and telecoms, providing them with curated sourcing activities, technical tours, and direct access to China’s export-ready innovators.
“At Maktabi, we work on boardrooms, meeting rooms, command and control solutions for government and semi governments entities, and immersive solutions such as for museums or experience centers. We are searching different Chinese manufacturers of video controllers and video processors. The event was a surprise for me. The show is huge. There are many companies who we know of and many which we don’t know. We need to take advantage of this business opportunity and get in touch and introduce ourselves,” shared invited guest Khalid Ah Sheikh, Technical Director at MakTabi Tech, Saudi Arabia.
Another Invited Guest, Amirjon Nosirov, Head of AI Development Department, Ministry of Culture, Republic of Uzbekistan, emphasized the need for face-to-face sourcing: “As a government official, my priority is finding legitimate, reliable suppliers. You cannot do that through a screen. Attending InfoComm China provides the official environment I need to justify our supplier selections. I met global brands like Christie and Barco at the show. It led to an immediate factory visit and a deep dive into their capabilities. We are now moving toward an order much faster than expected because the show allowed us to cut through the noise.”

Across the exhibition floor, attendees experienced the full spectrum of Pro AV solutions transforming industries – from AI-powered collaboration platforms and immersive display technologies to advanced control room systems, smart city applications, and next-generation digital signage.

The organizers further identified exhibiting companies who are export-ready and those actively seeking new partners, streamlining the connection process for precise business opportunities. Finally, an extensive promotional campaign was introduced leading up to the fair identifying and inviting high-value Pro AV consultants, system integrators, and vertical market end-users to the fair to experience a myriad of sourcing activities, international visitor benefits, onsite networking, and technical tours.
Do Duc Trung, Vice Chairman of Ho Chi Minh City Computer Association, Vietnam, highlighted the surge in regional demand and his objectives being met at InfoComm China 2026: “We are one of the oldest associations in Ho Chi Minh City in the technology field. Pro AV is in huge demand given Vietnam’s rapid digital transformation. For example, demand for digital signage and enterprise conferencing are growing massively in government and other sectors. Our delegation members and I are pleased to have access to all of these new technologies available at InfoComm China.”
