At InfoComm 2026, Neil Fluester, Head of Portfolio & Alliances – Logitech For Business EU, spoke with UC Today about the event shifting from a traditional AV showcase to a major unified communications (UC) event, signaled by Microsoft’s first InfoComm keynote. The discussion highlighted a convergence of AV, UC, workplace technology, and AI, moving beyond older systems like SIP and H.323 toward platforms such as Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Google, and Cisco Webex. AI is now moving beyond note-taking in UC, with meeting rooms becoming spaces for translation, virtual assistance, and workflow improvement. Interoperability has become a core part of the meeting experience, as recent developments like Google and Microsoft bringing new Meet and Teams interoperability to ISE 2026 underline its importance. Buyers are now less focused on device specifications and more on whether technology improves the meeting itself. The interview also touched on the human side, referencing the AVIXA Women’s Breakfast at InfoComm 2026, where discussions focused on trust, authentic leadership, and human connection in an AI-driven world.
