SINGAPORE: Harman Professional Solutions brought together the Asia Pacific professional AV community for the HARMAN Connect APAC Summit 2026, a multi-day gathering that underscored the company’s continued focus on innovation, collaboration and immersive experience design. Hosted at W Sentosa, Singapore from 10 to 12 March 2026, the summit convened distributors, partners, customers and company leadership for a comprehensive programme of product showcases, technical sessions and strategic discussions.

The event opened with the HARMAN Partner (Distributor) Summit on 10 March 2026, where regional distribution partners engaged directly with senior leadership to align on business priorities and future direction. Brian Divine, President of HARMAN Professional Solutions, presented key updates, recognised sales achievements and outlined the company’s product roadmap for 2026 and beyond.

On 11 March 2026, the focus shifted to performance applications with the Performance Audio & Lighting Summit, delivering a full day of technical deep-dives and live demonstrations led by Global Product Line Managers. The programme featured lighting project highlights and live fixture demonstrations, including the APAC debut of the Martin MAC Encore Two and MAC One Beam. Audio innovations were also spotlighted, with demonstrations of the latest JBL Professional developments, including new additions to the SRX900 Series.

The day culminated in a curated Flux Immersive Audio & Lighting showcase, offering attendees a multi-sensory demonstration of integrated system capabilities, before transitioning into JBL L!ve & Loud—an evening of entertainment and networking that also celebrated JBL’s 80th Anniversary.

The final day, 12 March 2026, turned attention towards installed AV solutions, with sessions dedicated to audio, video and lighting technologies designed for professional integration environments. Attendees explored updated JBL Professional loudspeaker ranges, including the first APAC demonstration of a Dante-enabled loudspeaker, alongside next-generation platforms such as BSS OMNI Open Architecture DSP, Crown ComTech D amplifiers, and AMX MUSE and SVSI solutions, highlighting HARMAN’s ecosystem approach to delivering cohesive, scalable systems across diverse applications.
