InfoComm will offer a webinar on January 10, 2012 to educate audio-visual professionals about the Department of Justice’s amendments to the American with Disabilities Act requirements for assistive listening systems and other AV systems.  

Bluffdale, Utah, USA — Listen Technologies Corporation is pleased to announce the InfoComm webinar “Addressing the March ADA Deadline for AV Systems.”
 
In 2010 the Department of Justice amended the American with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements for assistive listening and other AV systems. The new requirements go into full effect on March 12, 2012.
 
InfoComm has partnered with Listen Technologies and Technitect to present the details of what the new requirements will mean to the audio-visual industry. Timothy Cape, CTS-D a Principal Consultant at Technitect and Craig Paller, Wireless Listening Product Group Leader at Listen Technologies will deliver the presentation.

“This changes the specification for all audio systems, and assistive listening is now required for all public venues that offer sound reinforcement of any kind,” noted Craig Paller, Wireless Listening Product Group Leader at Listen Technologies. “This is not a product webinar in any respect.  It's about the changes in legislation and what that means to our AV community.”
