Hello AV Buyers.Club readers! I hope you’re all doing well and that you’re prepared to read through this lovely list of news I have prepared for you. First of all, let’s talk about the columns. We have some good ones this time. David Danto writes about the Sphere — and he has some interesting critiques. Is it actually creating an immersive experience or are we just throwing technology around? Read more here.

In the latest from Scott Tiner, he writes about some of the really future-forward AI-integrated technology and about some of the privacy concerns we should have with them, particularly in the classroom. The full article is here.

We also have the latest in news, from Hunter-Douglas to Cisco to ISE 2025.

I hope you enjoy reading through these as much as I enjoyed putting this newsletter together for you!
