January 3, 2025 | Volume: 11 | Issue 1

Hi all! Welcome to the first AV Buyers.Club newsletter of 2025. The New Year is always such an interesting time. I find I either have a million tasks to complete that were all due yesterday, or I’m sitting pretty until the tasks start coming in during the second week of January. Unfortunately, right now, I’m in the first camp. But a busy third day of January hopefully signals good things and good tidings for the rest of the year. I hope all of that for you too, by the way!

Anyway. Enjoy this newsletter. Happy New Year! And will I be seeing any of you at ISE 2025? If so, use code “RAVEPUBS” for free entry onto the show floor! See you then 💜
