Why you should attend Tech Xpo 2025
The countdown is on. Tech Xpo 2025 is returning to Ascot, and this year promises to be the biggest and most inspiring showcase of audiovisual technology yet. Across two packed days, you’ll discover the latest innovations, hear from world-leading experts, take part in hands-on training and network with the brightest minds in AV.
Whether you’re a reseller, integrator or end user, Tech Xpo is where the future of AV comes to life. Here’s why this year’s event is not to be missed.
Be part of the conversation: AV Crosstalk Live
We’re thrilled to welcome AV Magazine’s AV Crosstalk Live to Tech Xpo for the very first time. This interactive panel is designed to tackle the issues that matter most to the AV community, and this year’s hot topic was voted on by you: AI.
Why does this matter? Artificial intelligence is already transforming how AV solutions work - from smart cameras that auto-frame speakers to analytics tools that predict device failures before they happen.
Titled ‘What’s AI got to do with AV?’, industry leaders will go beyond the headlines. You’ll hear different perspectives, learn about real-world deployments and get a chance to pose your own questions. This isn’t a one-way presentation - it’s a conversation designed to equip you with fresh insights you can take back to your business.
Learn from the experts: Peerless-AV training
If you want more than just theory, Tech Xpo delivers. The Peerless-AV AVIXA CTS-approved dvLED install training course is a highlight for anyone involved in LED installations.
This hands-on session covers everything from direct view LED displays to universal mounting systems. You’ll learn practical techniques to streamline your installs, avoid common pitfalls and deliver the kind of quality your customers expect. Best of all, the course is CTS-approved, so not only will you boost your technical expertise, but you’ll also add to your professional credentials.
You’ll walk away with knowledge that saves you hours on-site. That’s what makes this training session so valuable - it’s about real-world impact.
Security front and centre: Martyn’s Law at Tech Xpo Secure
Security is no longer an optional extra - it’s a core part of operating any public venue or business. That’s why Tech Xpo Secure is dedicating the spotlight to Martyn’s Law, the new legislation that will come into effect from April 2027.
We are honoured to welcome Figen Murray OBE, the initiator and driving force behind Martyn’s Law. Figen tragically lost her son, Martyn, in the Manchester Arena terror attack in 2017, and has since dedicated her life to ensuring no other family experiences the same loss. Her presentation will take you on the journey from tragedy to legislative change, offering unique insights into what this landmark law means for organisations like yours.
Following Figen, Nathan Emmerich - who led communications strategy for the Martyn’s Law campaign - will share how businesses can prepare not only to comply with legislation, but also to build resilience. He’ll discuss how AV and communications technologies can help mitigate risks, detect hostile reconnaissance, and manage crisis situations effectively.
For AV professionals, this session is about more than compliance. It’s about understanding your role in creating safer, more resilient environments - and ensuring your solutions contribute to protecting people.
Discover simplicity with ClickShare and Huddly
You’ve seen ClickShare in action before, but now Barco is taking things to the next level. At Tech Xpo, discover the brand-new ClickShare Hub, designed to bring that same trademark simplicity to complete room systems. It’s everything you love about ClickShare, scaled up for enterprise needs.
Alongside this, you’ll experience the Huddly C-1 videobar in action. Powered by AI, this system goes beyond basic video conferencing, delivering smart framing and inclusive audio that ensures every participant feels part of the conversation.
The session also explores the Microsoft Device Ecosystem Platform, giving IT teams simplified management, enterprise-grade security and automatic updates. Together, Barco and Huddly are building hybrid rooms that are simple for users and stress-free for IT.
And here’s the bonus: attend the session and you could win a Huddly C-1 videobar or a ClickShare CX-30. That’s hands-on learning and the chance to walk away with game-changing kit.
New for 2025: Live Technology & Pixel IQ

Designed to be your backstage partner, Live Technology provides the crew, expertise and equipment to make events seamless.
On top of that, PSCo’s LED experts will be on hand with Pixel IQ, the world’s leading LED configurator. This powerful tool makes designing and specifying LED projects quicker, easier and more accurate - helping resellers and integrators bring concepts to life faster.
And don’t miss our new video content and creation space, a space dedicated to exploring how content can be designed, produced and deployed across multiple platforms. From corporate storytelling to live event production, it’s a showcase for the creative side of AV.
Networking, demos and inspiration
Of course, Tech Xpo isn’t only about the scheduled sessions. Across two days, you’ll have the chance to walk the show floor, connect with vendors and get hands-on with the latest technology. Whether it’s LED walls, projection, UC solutions or digital signage, every demo is designed to help you see what’s possible - and how it fits into your business.
Networking is another huge benefit. Tech Xpo attracts AV professionals from across the UK, so it’s the perfect place to build relationships, exchange ideas and discover opportunities. From informal conversations over coffee to structured meetings with vendors, the event is designed to spark collaboration.
