NEXXT is preparing to launch “The SPRINT” at InfoComm 2026, a session designed to help the AV and collaboration industry learn how to turn AI opportunity into practical outcomes.

According to NEXXT, The SPRINT is a four-hour, team-based innovation session taking place June 18 from 1-5pm. Participants will work in small, intentionally diverse teams. Each team will be assigned a catalyst challenge and tasked with building a tangible response, whether a prototype, service concept, workflow, business model or other practical expression of an AI-enabled opportunity.

NEXXT said the emphasis is not on polished perfection, but on rapid experimentation, creative use of AI tools and practical exploration of what is possible when teams simply start building.

Top teams from the session will be invited to present their outputs on the AVIXA Xchange LIVE stage June 19.

“AI has created a moment where everyone is talking about innovation, but few within our industry have ever formally been taught the skills, structures and best practices of HOW to do so,” said Byron Tarry, founder and chief transformation officer at NEXXT. “The SPRINT is about changing that.”

The SPRINT is open to participants from across the AV and collaboration ecosystem, including vendors, integrators, consultants and end users.

“The SPRINT reflects our commitment to evolving how our industry learns and grows,” said Annette Sandler, senior director, live content, U.S./Canada, AVIXA, producer of InfoComm. “By creating space for hands-on collaboration, experimentation and shared discovery, we are helping the community build the skills and confidence needed to navigate the AI era.”
