Hi Newsletter Readers! I hope you’re all doing well and if you’re attending InfoComm, the countdown is going smoothly and you don’t have too much on your plate. For my higher ed folks, I know it is about to be an incredibly busy time updating the tech at your respective institutions so I applaud you.

I’ll keep this super short this time — make sure to check out the latest from David Danto (below) about the information that our AV gear takes from our use … and what it does with it.

Enjoy the rest!
