Bridging Innovation and Collaboration: Sun Infonet Symposium 2024



Sun Infonet Symposium 2024 was a premier networking event for AV innovation and collaboration

New Delhi-based pro audio solutions distributor, Sun Infonet, recently hosted the much-anticipated Sun Infonet Symposium 2024 at the Hotel Conrad, Bengaluru. Building upon the resounding success of its inaugural event in 2019, the symposium provided an expansive platform to showcase cutting-edge audio-visual solutions tailored for diverse verticals. The one-day event also served as a vibrant networking hub for the AV industry, facilitating discussions on emerging technologies and market trajectories as the industry transitions into 2025.

The 2024 edition of the symposium saw an upscaled format, attracting a distinguished audience of industry experts, OEM representatives, consultants, and end-users from across India. The event was strongly supported by principal partners Shure and Meyer Sound, alongside other prominent OEMs, which presented solutions through immersive, hands-on demonstrations.

Three key verticals were at the core of the showcased solutions:

  • Boardroom / Meeting Room / Training Room
  • Auditorium
  • Townhall

The solutions included innovative products from Shure, Allen & Heath, Meyer Sound, and Quest Engineering, catering to a spectrum of applications from compact meeting spaces to expansive auditoriums.

Attendees witnessed live demonstrations of tailored solutions for boardrooms, training rooms, and townhall setups. Key technologies showcased included:

  • Voice Lift and Sound Reinforcement: Advanced audio systems designed for clear communication and collaboration.
  • Dante-enabled Shure Microphones: Streamlining signal distribution in diverse environments.
  • Ceiling and Table Array Microphones: Enhancing conferencing experiences.
  • Integrated Camera Tracking: Seamlessly blending video and audio for unified communication setups.

A standout feature was the auditorium solution, which highlighted a complete audio signal chain-from input stages using Shure microphones to signal processing with Allen & Heath systems, culminating in sound reinforcement via Meyer Sound and Quest Engineering loudspeakers.

The symposium's highlight was an engaging panel discussion moderated by Jayakaran B., Senior Product Manager at Sun Infonet. The panel featured:

  • Antony Lovell (Sales Director, Middle East, Africa & South Asia, Shure)
  • Andrea Granata (Sales Manager, Middle East & Africa, Meyer Sound)
  • Selwyn Fernandes (Principal Consultant, HMPL Consulting)
  • Sachin Hallikeri (Vice-President, Technology Solutions Engineering, Online Instruments)
  • Karthikeyan K. (Global Solutions Architect, SAP Labs India)

The discussion revolved around the theme of "The Next Big Thing in AV Technology," delving into the transformative role of artificial intelligence (AI), security, and experiential design in shaping the industry's future.

Antony Lovell emphasised AI's potential to revolutionise audio systems. "It was machine learning in the past, but now it's AI," he said, noting its growing importance in enhancing system efficiency and user experience. He also underlined the significance of network security, especially within enterprise environments.

Andrea Granata supported this view, highlighting that AI tools must remain accessible to innovators to enhance creativity and system design. "Any technology is essentially a tool to make systems more experiential," he noted.

Selwyn Fernandes observed, "AI will assist designers in making their designs more effective and in lesser time. It will be a major collaborative tool for interesting designs."

However, Karthikeyan K. maintained that while AI is invaluable, physical consultancy remains critical for large-scale projects. "End users still prefer consultants on-site rather than fully relying on technology tools like AI," he said.

Sachin Hallikeri highlighted the limitations of AI in large-scale integration projects. "AV has never been a simple plug-and-play solution; it's always tailored for specific spaces and applications," he remarked, underscoring the need for human expertise in designing systems for complex environments.

The symposium received widespread acclaim from attendees:

Anil George Punnoose, Resurgent AV Integrators Pvt. Ltd.: "The event was very well organised. Despite being a working day, it saw excellent attendance. I particularly appreciated the panel discussion and the insightful queries raised by the audience."

Pankaj Malhotra, KLM Designs India, remarked "The discussions on emerging technologies and AI's role in product development were enlightening. The event also showcased how Meyer Sound is a global leader in delivering high-quality audio solutions."

Vinod Dubey, CTW Systems said, "The voice lift feature was executed excellently. The panel discussion was both productive and informative."

Prasad H M, Genesis IT Innovations Pvt. Ltd.: "It was a great event that provided valuable insights into where AI implementation is leading the industry."

Sachin Hallikeri, Online Instruments: "The event uniquely showcased collaborations between OEMs, discussing complete solutions and technologies for clients."

The symposium concluded with a cocktail dinner, offering a relaxed setting for attendees to exchange ideas, forge connections, and discuss strategies for leveraging advanced technologies to enhance AV experiences.

Neeraj Chandra, Director of Sun Infonet, summarised the event's significance: "Symposium 2024 is about showcasing both our competence and connections. It's a platform for sharing experiences and preparing for a better tomorrow."

By bringing together industry leaders, innovative solutions, and actionable insights, the Sun Infonet Symposium 2024 successfully cemented its position as a premier event in India's AV landscape.
