The Australian AV scene is evolving fast and Integrate Expo 2026, 2-4 September at ICC Sydney, is where the industry can see, test, and compare the latest solutions firsthand. From AI-powered systems to broadcast-ready studios, these trends below are shaping how workplaces, venues, and experiences will look over the next few years.
AI-powered and automated AV
AI-driven tools are making AV smarter and easier to manage, from auto-tracking cameras and adaptive audio to real-time diagnostics. At Integrate, visitors can explore how AI is being built into meeting rooms, learning spaces, and live event workflows to create more seamless and responsive experiences.
AV over IP and cloud control
AV over IP has become the new backbone for flexible, scalable systems that run over standard IT networks. On the show floor, visitors will see how cloud-based management lets teams monitor, control, and update multi-site installations from anywhere, supporting hybrid work and always-on operations.
Rise of Broadcast AV
As corporate, government, and education organisations produce more video content, broadcast AV is moving beyond traditional studios. Integrate visitors can discover how PTZ cameras, IP-based switching, and NDI workflows are enabling in-house studios, high-quality live streams, and hybrid event production without TV-sized budgets.
Immersive and interactive experiences
High-resolution LED, 4K/8K displays, spatial audio, and interactive content are raising expectations for how spaces look and feel. At Integrate, attendees can experience these immersive technologies in action, from eye-catching digital signage and experiential retail to live event and theatre applications.
Sustainable and smarter systems
Sustainability is now a core requirement in AV design, with more energy-efficient hardware, eco-conscious materials, and smart power management. Visitors will find solutions that help reduce environmental impact while improving performance, aligning with green targets for venues, campuses, and public projects.
By exploring these trends at Integrate 2026, visitors can see what’s possible today, meet the brands bringing it to market, and plan the next stage of their AV upgrades with confidence.
Integrate Expo is the largest AV industry event in the Southern Hemisphere and will be back at ICC Sydney on 2-4 September 2026.
