Scores of enthusiastic InfoComm
attendees were on hand on the eve
of the first day of InfoComm 2005
at the AV Communications Excel-
lence Awards Banquet and Opening
Ceremony.
The festive gala recognized in-
dustry achievement and celebrated
the pioneers who continue to raise
the technological bar. ICIA, Systems
Contractor News, Rental & Staging

exciting banquet allows the ICIA to
honor its own through awards like
the Volunteer of the Year award. ICIA

cation publishers by partnering with
the channel’s top magazines. Visual
Solution’s Randy Pagnan was the il-
lustrious emcee of the awards.
