InfoComm 2025 in Orlando wasn’t just another trade show. With over 30,998 verified attendees from 97 countries and 817 exhibitors across more than 400 thousand square feet of AV innovation, this year’s gathering felt like the ultimate laboratory of future‑ready collaborative experiences. From AI‑powered meeting tech to broadcast‑quality production and true‑to‑life 3D conferencing, the conference proved that the future of AV is brilliant, and it’s already here.
Let’s explore the trends reshaping the landscape and highlights from top vendors Lenovo, Jabra, HP Poly with Google Beam, Logitech and how our Microsoft Teams Room + Copilot solution ties it all together.
The AV Trends Defining 2025
AI‑Powered Meetings and Unified Spaces
Sean Wargo, AVIXA’s VP of Market Insights, identified smart collaboration as the one AV segment still growing robustly despite broader industry recalibration. AI‑driven features—speaker tracking, auto‑framing; adaptive acoustics are now baked into meeting rooms, classrooms, and shared spaces. Far from gimmicks, their driving consistency, predictability, and smarter installations.
Software, Cloud & Broadcast‑Level Quality
Software is quietly revolutionizing AV from behind the scenes, supporting remote diagnostics, managed services, and cloud integration for scalability (avixa.org). Meanwhile, “broadcast-quality” AV, once limited to studios, is now mainstream. Town halls, investor updates, and corporate communications demand production-level visuals, lighting, and audio in everyday collaboration environments.
Smart, Flexible Spaces
Despite fears that remote work would hollow out office space, companies are instead investing in intelligent, flexible room designs. Huddle rooms, open collaboration zones, and multipurpose hubs require AV that adapts microphones, sensors, displays, and AV systems that support varied meeting styles.
Spotlight: Lenovo Think Smart One Pro — Small Rooms, Big Impact
Announced June 11, 2025, Lenovo’s Think Smart One Pro is a game‑changer for small meeting spaces a wall‑mountable all‑in‑one collaboration bar powered by Intel Core i5 with Intel vPro, and running Windows 11 IoT Enterprise, making it the first device of its kind (news.lenovo.com).
Features That Matter
AI‑Driven Camera Tech
Dynamic framing, intelligent zoom, and video fencing deliver pro‑level presentation quality even in compact huddle rooms.
Advanced Audio
Eight beamforming microphones with 180° coverage, echo cancellation, noise suppression, and stereo speakers bring crystal‑clear voice capture and playback.
BYOD Flexibility
Teams can join meetings using their own device Teams, Zoom, Webex, or Google Meet while still leveraging the device’s compute and AV power.
Simplified Deployment & Management
Users get virtual support, Think Smart Manager for remote fleet monitoring, and intuitive touchscreen controllers for ease of use.
Availability
Available with either a USB or IP controller, the ThinkSmart One Pro ships globally Q3 2025.
This product cuts through complexity by consolidating compute, video, control, and audio into a single turnkey unit ensuring standardization across meeting rooms at scale.
Spotlight: Jabra Pana Cast 40 VBS — Small Room, Panoramic View
Jabra’s PanaCast 40 VBS brings professional‑grade visuals and audio to compact spaces. With a 180° field of view, dual 8MP cameras, and 4× digital zoom, every participant from corner to wall, is in the frame (jabra.com).
What Makes It Shine?
AI‑Powered Framing
Automatically reframes participants mid‑meeting, ensuring remote attendees see all sides of the room.
Robust Audio Array
Six beamforming microphones plus an integrated speaker ensure voices come through loud and clear even in tight spaces.
Fast Installation
Clock from box-to-call in under 12 minutes, with tidy cable management and clear documentation.
Certified for Microsoft Teams Rooms, manageable via Teams Admin Center, and built on Microsoft’s Device Ecosystem Platform (MDEP), it delivers secure IT management and seamless Teams integration.
Spotlight: HP Poly Studio A2 & Google Beam — Collaboration in 3D
HP and Google introduced HP Dimension with Google Beam, a first‑of‑its‑kind 3D video conferencing system designed to make video meetings feel as real as in‑person conversations no headsets or glasses required (hp.com).
Why It Stands Out
Immersive 3D Light‑Field Display
Six high‑speed cameras, adaptive lighting, spatial audio creating lifelike video interactions. HP cites increases of up to 28% better memory recall, 39% more non‑verbal behavior, and 14% increased focus compared to standard video calls.
Poly Studio A2 Audio Integration
Table microphones daisy‑chainable up to eight units, connected via an Audio Bridge supporting up to 32 synchronized audio channels and including NoiseBlockAI for clear voice capture over Ethernet.
Enterprise Rollout Plan
HP Dimension, along with Google Beam, will be available late 2025, and Poly Studio A2 audio solutions ship globally starting September 2025.
This is not just video it’s an entirely new dimension of collaboration, designed for executive meetings, high‑value client interactions, and immersive communication needs.
Spotlight: Logitech — Multi-Stream, Sensors & Rally Board 65
Logitech stole the show at their booth this year, delivering hands-on demonstrations of new technologies such as multi-streaming with the Rally Bar, environmental sensors that monitor room conditions, and the Rally Board 65, a 65-inch, 180-degree flipping interactive display designed for collaborative meetings.
Key Innovations
Microsoft Multi-stream via Rally Bar
Supports separate video streams for multiple remote participants in Teams Rooms, offering more viewing choices and control.
Logitech Spot Smart Sensors
Track occupancy, air quality, room usage, and energy patterns in real time, giving facility planners data for smart workspace optimization.
Logitech Sight & Daisy‑Chaining
This tabletop camera is capable of being connected with a second unit to deliver up to eight distinct video streams during a single call. Recognized as one of TIME’s Best Inventions of 2024, Logitech sets a new standard for hybrid meetings.
Rally Board 65
A 65″ touchscreen display that flips 180 degrees, combining video conferencing, touch controls, sensors, and AI-powered audio into one elegant, multipurpose unit.
Logitech also hosted training sessions covering Teams Rooms, Zoom Rooms, and Google Meet deployments, making it as educational as it was innovative.
Bringing It All Together: Microsoft Teams Room + Copilot Integration
As these products integrate with Microsoft Teams Rooms (MTR), businesses can leverage Microsoft Copilot in Teams Rooms, further elevating meeting experiences. Unlike traditional meeting assistants, Copilot leverages deep integration with Microsoft 365 to offer context-aware suggestions and automate complex workflows, making meetings not just efficient but uniquely insightful. For instance, at the close of a meeting, Copilot can instantly generate a summary of key discussion points and action items, then send personalized follow-up emails to all participants, saving valuable time and ensuring that nothing falls through the cracks. Copilot for Microsoft Teams Rooms serves as a central hub, streamlining collaboration and enabling a smooth, intelligent meeting experience beyond standard solutions.
Combining Copilot with solutions like ThinkSmart One Pro, PanaCast 40 VBS, Logitech Multi-stream, and even 3D HP Beam systems, offers rich scenarios:
- Smarter rooms, automatically optimized and standardized via AI.
- Inclusive experiences, where remote and in-room participants see and hear clearly, in any space.
- Pro-level production, without adding broadcast‑grade hardware.
- AI-driven meeting intelligence, capturing outcomes, action items, and content effortlessly.
InfoComm 2025 was marked by the convergence of AV, broadcast, software, and AI. The event’s scale nearly 31K attendees and hundreds of sessions, underscored the industry’s resilience and momentum.
Smart collaboration is now standard, with organizations in all sectors demanding intelligent, scalable, visually impressive, and secure AV solutions.
