ACT Entertainment, the newly formed entity borne from the merging of the ACT Lighting and RHC Holdings families of companies, will exhibit under its new branding for the first time at InfoComm 2021 (Booth 5753).

In recognition of this new business objective, the company will be showcasing its recently launched Just Networking brand, along with MA Lighting, ProCo Sound and Aytron products, at the show.
“With the entertainment industry among the hardest hit through the pandemic, we recognized the importance of creating one unified, efficient approach to servicing each of our markets as they rebound,” says Dale Williams, President and COO of ACT Entertainment. “This change happened organically, as our industries adapted and evolved to the new ways of delivering content and entertainment. We’re excited to officially launch ACT Entertainment at InfoComm.”
