Six sessions worth fitting into your schedule
NETGEAR team members are presenting across five InfoComm education sessions this year, each one is built around real deployments and real decisions that actually matter in the field.
Upgrading legacy equipment (ES33)
Tue, June 16 · 4:00–5:00pm · Room W232 · CTS: 1 / CTS-D: 1 · Introductory
Nicoel Lewis, Pro AV Sr. Systems Engineer, NETGEAR, with Deborah Jones (QEII Centre) and Nelson Baumgratz (AVIXA)
Refresh or replace? Every integrator faces this with aging client infrastructure. Nicoel and co-presenters walk through real scenarios across digital signage, video conferencing, and media broadcasting, with a practical framework for making the call and managing the transition.

Zoom Spaces: Network and Media Foundations (PT29)
Mon, June 15 · 3:00–5:00pm · Room N258 · CTS: 2 / CTS-D: 2 / CTS-I: 2 / ANP: 2 · Intermediate
Laurent Masia, Sr. Director of Product Management, Managed Switches and Pro AV Design Team, NETGEAR AV, with Frank Padikkala (Zoom)
Part of the Zoom Spaces Bootcamp – a three-day AVIXA Pro Training program – this session introduces the network and media transport fundamentals needed to support AV systems within Zoom Spaces. Laurent Masia covers network design considerations and how media flows through integrated environments, laying the technical foundation for real-time audio and video deployments.

Enterprise AV deployment at scale: case study (ES57)
Wed, June 17 · 8:15–9:15am · Rooms W213/W214 · CTS: 1 / CTS-D: 1 / CTS-I: 1 / ANP: 1 · Introductory
John Henkel, Product Marketing Director at NETGEAR AV, with Tobi Tungl, CMO at CTI
When one of America’s largest retailers needed to standardize AV across thousands of meeting rooms, NETGEAR and integrator CTI built the infrastructure to do it. John and Tobi take you inside the project from discovery through post-deployment — actual network diagrams, real numbers, and an honest account of what went wrong and how they fixed it.
Rethinking Network Security for AV-over-IP (SS24)
Wed, June 17 · 12:00–12:30pm · Booth N6668 · AV Networking
Ayham Ereksousi, Sr. Director of Product, Exium — NETGEAR
AV networks have fundamentally changed — and so have the security risks. With every display, DSP, codec, and control processor now an IP endpoint, most of these devices can’t run traditional security agents. Ayham walks through real-world vulnerabilities in AV-over-IP deployments, from unpatched firmware to lateral movement across flat VLANs, and makes the case for zero-trust segmentation as the practical path forward. The session closes with a live demo of a prototype embedding security capabilities directly into an AV network management platform.

How to design an AV over IP network (ES17)
Thu, June 18 · 8:00–10:00am · Rooms W208/W209/W210 · CTS: 1 / CTS-D: 1 / CTS-I: 1 / ANP: 1 · Intermediate
Laurent Masia, Sr. Director Managed Switches & ProAV at NETGEAR
A single switch is straightforward. The complexity starts when you need to scale. Laurent’s two-hour session covers multicast management, bandwidth across multiple switches, and how to build AV-over-IP systems that reach hundreds of endpoints without flooding the network — built around real-world scenarios, not theory.

IP for corporate broadcast AV (ES39)
Thu, June 18 · 1:30–3:00pm · Room W231 · CTS: 1.5 / CTS-D: 1.5 / ANP: 1.5 · Intermediate
Laurent Masia (NETGEAR), with Mike Bergeron (Panasonic) and Samuel Recine (Matrox Video / AIMS Board)
A panel on IP-based media in corporate AV environments, covering the current state of SMPTE 2110, NDI, Dante, SDVoE, and IPMX; what IP-to-IP conversion looks like in practice; and how cybersecurity fits into broadcast-grade corporate workflows.

What's at booth N7011
Beyond the sessions, the booth is where you can get hands-on with the NETGEAR AV lineup. On the Wi-Fi 7 side, the WBE708 is NETGEAR’s new access point built for high-density AV environments.
The M4350 AV-over-IP switch series will be fully demoed, including the two newest models: the M4350-16M4V, built for broadcast and live production with Neutrik® locking connectors throughout to prevent disconnections during load-in or live events, and the M4350-16C, which delivers 16 ports of 100G connectivity for high-demand aggregation scenarios.
We’ll be running live demos at the NETGEAR Engage 2.4 booth, the free AV network management platform that lets you design and configure a full deployment before hardware ever arrives on site.
One more thing
There’s one more product being unveiled on the first day of the show that NETGEAR isn’t ready to name yet. Make booth N7011 your first stop when the doors open on June 17 and discover it first, or join the exclusive preview webinar on June 10th: https://www.netgear.com/about/webinars/?commid=664858
InfoComm runs June 17–19 at the Las Vegas Convention Center. Come find us at booth N7011.
