Pro AV iT Competence Days 2025

 

 

The Pro AV & IT Market in the Face of Global Changes

Key Decisions Before the End of the Year.

The year 2026 presents the industry with entirely new challenges. Fluctuations in the prices of memory and other components, logistics costs, and delivery times directly impact project execution and profitability.

At the same time, the market is seeing mergers, acquisitions, and structural changes among AV and IT manufacturers and distributors. These processes are reshaping the current product landscape and triggering personnel changes. This is the perfect moment to explore alternative solutions and build a solid Plan B for your projects.

Why is it worth it?

Two days in Krakow offer an overview of the current offerings from key manufacturers and distributors, as well as the opportunity to meet new teams and business development professionals. You gain a unique chance to confirm product availability directly at the source and secure your projects before the end of the year. This time is your best investment in Q4.

Moduły

EXPO Exhibition and Solutions Showcase

See a record number of AV and IT brands. For the first time, you can compare products from numerous manufacturers of displays, sound systems, and control systems—as well as solutions for cabling, UPS power supplies, rack cabinets, CCTV monitoring, and backup systems—all under one roof.

Network Infrastructure and Standards

Professional installations of modern AV-over-IP signal transmission systems are impossible without expertise in cabling, networking, and the configuration of switches, routers, and firewalls. Talk to experts—practitioners—at the booths.

Practical AI Tools for Business

See how to effectively use artificial intelligence in the day-to-day operations of an integration company. Discover tools that automate quote preparation, design drafting, and the rapid analysis of bid documents (RFP).

Cybersecurity and the NIS2 Directive

Learn how to effectively protect multimedia system endpoints in accordance with the new legal requirements. Discover procedures for securing AV and IT installations against attacks, and learn about the penalties for a lack of digital resilience across the entire system.

HANDS-ON Workshops

See the technologies and solutions in action. Our hands-on workshops, held in small groups, are one of the most highly regarded parts of the event, allowing you to configure and test the equipment yourself in real time.

Industry Lectures and Debates

Hear from leaders in the Pro AV & IT market, learn about macroeconomic forecasts, and discover the latest market trends. Attend informative presentations and expert-led debates that will help you chart the right course for your business

Networking

A space dedicated to face-to-face meetings and relationship-building. It is the perfect place for manufacturers, distributors, and integrators to exchange experiences and establish business contacts.

Inspiration and New Market Niches

Think outside the box. Take advantage of industry convergence, combine web and multimedia expertise, and identify new avenues for expanding your offerings. Discover niche vertical markets that will help your company generate more revenue.

 

2. For Pro AV & IT Sponsors, Manufacturers, and Distributors

Kafelki - dla Sponsorów

Reaching the Industry’s New Generation

A generational shift is underway at system integration and design firms. Young professionals need technical knowledge and the right tools. Now is the perfect time to build their trust in your brand and solutions from the ground up.

Market Education and Workshops

Deliver your own technology presentations and hands-on workshops. Show integrators what’s new in your product lineup and how to properly implement your solutions, establishing yourself as a technical expert in the industry.

Shake-ups in the integrator market

Staff changes and mergers are also affecting the integrators themselves. Specialists are switching companies or starting new ones and redefining their project portfolios. Take the time to review these changes and secure your most important partnerships.

 

Responding to Real Market Needs

In times of rapid change, integrators are looking for predictable partnerships. Show them that your brand guarantees full technical support, transparent terms of cooperation, and stable, uninterrupted supply in Q4.

Optimize Your Budget and Time

Instead of blowing your budget on organizing numerous scattered, costly local events and training sessions, you can complete your quarterly schedule of business meetings with key partners from across the country in just two days in Kraków.

Access to End Users

Thanks to three concurrent conferences taking place on the second day, the Expo zone will be visited by invited end users and investors representing the museum, workplace, and retail sectors. This is a unique opportunity to showcase solutions and engage directly with users.

Business in the B2B Zones

Make the most of the space and time available for networking. During face-to-face meetings, you’ll discuss real challenges, opportunities, and solutions with your partners. This is the perfect time to talk about projects for the rest of the year and plans for 2027.

Brand Image and Market Presence

The industry abhors a vacuum. In a year of such intense market upheaval, failing to attend the conference in Krakow would raise more questions and speculation than any moves by the competition.
