Neutrik Group Americas To Lead Hands-On AV Connector Training At InfoComm 2026

Neutrik Group Americas, a subsidiary of Neutrik AG and home to the NEUTRIK, REAN and CONTRIK brands, will deliver an in-depth, hands-on training session at InfoComm 2026. Titled "AV Connectors – From Setting Standards to System Performance," the class runs on Wednesday, 17 June, from 2:30 to 4:30 PM in Room W203/W204.

Part of InfoComm's Pro Training programme, the course awards two Certification Renewal Units (CRUs) applicable towards CTS, CTS-D and CTS-I certifications, offering AV professionals a practical route to maintain or enhance their credentials.

Led by Brant Mathiason, Customer Solutions Engineer at Neutrik Group Americas, with support from Mark Boyadjian, Customer Solutions Director, the session explores the history, evolution and engineering of NEUTRIK's industry-standard connector families. Attendees will learn to identify a broad range of connector types used across professional audio, video, lighting, broadcast, networking and power applications.

The training also breaks down the components of NEUTRIK connector systems and introduces the company's new FAST (Fit, Attach, Secure, Test) four-step termination workflow. Developed with Systems Integrator and technical/trade school partners, FAST guides participants through cable preparation, solder and crimp techniques, strain-relief fundamentals and final validation, with hands-on skills checks at each stage for reliable, repeatable results in the field.

"Connectors are the backbone of every AVL system, yet they're often the least understood component," says Mathiason. "This session gives technicians and integrators the knowledge they need to make informed decisions, improve system reliability, and elevate their craft."

Admission is included with an Essentials Pass, Premier Pass or Pro Training Pass, and seating is first-come, first-served.
