## Resource

On the heels of the major news that AVIXA—the producers of InfoComm and a number of other AV industry show—had acquired Lightapalooza from HTSA, we sat down with Jenn Heinold, SVP of Expositions in the Americas, and HTSA's Tom Doherty. The two dove into the growth of the event and what's to come now that it'll co-locate with InfoComm starting next year.
