AV Beat Surpasses 180,000 Monthly Visitors Milestone Ahead of InfoComm 2026

SHERIDAN, WY — February 24, 2026 — AV Beat, the professional AV and InfoComm industry's leading digital media platform, today announced it has surpassed 180,000 monthly unique visitors — a 22% year-over-year increase that positions the publication as the fastest-growing trade media brand in the professional AV sector.

The milestone comes ahead of InfoComm 2026, the professional AV industry's premier annual trade show, where AV Beat will serve as an official media partner for the fourth consecutive year.

"Reaching 180,000 monthly visitors is a testament to the quality of our editorial team and the trust our audience places in AV Beat as their primary source for professional AV news, product reviews, and industry analysis," said Jeff Lasky, Publisher. "As the AV industry continues to evolve — with AI-driven control systems, advanced LED technology, and the convergence of AV and IT — our audience is hungry for authoritative coverage, and we're delivering it."

Key audience metrics driving the milestone include:

The AV Beat newsletter, which reaches 35,000 verified AV integrators, consultants, and end-users weekly, has seen a 31% increase in open rates over the past 12 months, reflecting the high engagement of the publication's professional audience.

Social media following across LinkedIn, X (formerly Twitter), and YouTube has grown to 68,000 combined followers, with LinkedIn engagement rates consistently exceeding industry benchmarks for B2B trade media.

The publication's InfoComm preview coverage, published in the six weeks leading up to the annual show, generated over 2.1 million page views in 2025 — making it the most-read InfoComm preview resource in the professional AV industry.

For advertisers, the milestone translates directly to expanded reach during the industry's most critical buying cycle. AV Beat's InfoComm 2026 advertising packages are now available, offering brands access to the publication's full audience through display advertising, newsletter sponsorships, and sponsored content programs.

"The brands that invest in AV Beat during the InfoComm cycle see exceptional results because our audience is actively researching and specifying products," said Lasky. "An integrator reading AV Beat in the weeks before InfoComm is exactly the decision-maker that AV technology brands need to reach."

InfoComm 2026 takes place June 14–20 at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida. AV Beat will have editorial staff on-site throughout the event.
