InfoComm International has announced the 2017 recipients of its Oceania Regional Awards, which were held on the first day of the Integrate expo in Melbourne. The awards recognise outstanding AV professionals for their achievements and commitments to the AV industry in the Oceania region.

“Behind each nominee and award winner is a great story. Their passion, determination and leadership inspire their peers and are examples of how the industry continues to grow fast thanks to individual commitment and achievement,” says InfoComm International senior director of development Asia-Pacific Jonathan Seller.

A dedicated InfoComm regional awards committee named the winners in four categories, while the winner of the Volunteer of the Year Award was selected by InfoComm staff.
