InfoComm International and CompTIA will collaborate on new education, training and business development initiatives to reflect the convergence of AV and IT.

“InfoComm and CompTIA staff have been sharing best practices on certification and education issues and now we are taking the next step for our members to work together on how IT and AV issues. This is a great opportunity for both communities of professionals to share their knowledge and chart a future pathway for our industries,” says Randal A Lemke, PhD, Executive Director and CEO at InfoComm International.

The two associations have formed a working group with 10 industry leaders from each organization discussing the collaboration around AV/IT convergence.

It probably helps this working group that the chairman of the CompTIA Board of Directors is Bob O'Malley, president and CEO of InFocus Corporation.

CompTIA is known for professional IT skills certifications as well as industry research and business management education for the IT industry. Its member-driven communities provide thought leadership on critical issues such as cyber security, healthcare IT, cloud computing and other emerging technology trends, all of which will be impacted by tax, regulatory, security and compliance challenges.
