WRAPPING UP 2019

Greetings, and welcome to the final digital issue of AV Integration for 2019.

This year has been a busy one for local integrators and industry professionals, with many high-profile projects and important events taking place over the last 12 months. From sweeping technology-driven educational initiatives, to highly ambitious AV-integrated construction projects and a record-breaking Mediatech Africa trade show in between, 2019 has brought its fair share of industry highlights.

Our cover story for this issue is another stellar integration project, as we focus on the story of how the celebrated Kyalami Race Track has reinvented itself as a world-class conferencing and events venue featuring the latest technologies and an “anti-fragile” AV backbone.

To celebrate this year’s milestones, we devote a large section of this issue to reflecting on some of the highlights of the past year, as well as to recognise the year’s outstanding AV technologies – as nominated by integrators.

Finally, you will find a taste of things to come with our ISE Show Preview. Our January issue will be strongly focused on the 2020 Integrated Systems Europe conference, and we invite you to submit content to add to our coverage of the year’s first must-attend international trade show.

From everyone on the AV Integration team, we’d like to thank you for your contributions and for your support throughout the year. We wish you a fantastic holiday season and some well-deserved rest, and we look forward to stretching our coverage of South Africa’s technological feats even further in 2020.

Regards
David Cornwell and the AV Integration team
