Hey everybody. It’s been a long year. But somehow, we’ve made it over halfway! And while it seems like we are all the dog in that meme where everything is on fire and he’s just trying to keep it together — you over in the UCC corner have not let it stop you from creating the things that we need now. Gary Kayye reminds us of this in one of his columns featured in this issue and he hit the nail on the head: It really is like Barco somehow knew we’d need an easy-peezy videoconferencing solution as we all go back into the office (one day). No one wants to touch the same pieces of equipment to log into a meeting! So, BYOMs — y’all did that.
Not to say that Barco is the only company making money moves right now. There are plenty of others, and a lot of them can be found right below. Other than product releases, there is also plenty of worthy news. The AVIXA Foundation awarded its 2020 scholarships, there’s a new name in the trade show game and an InfoComm Connected roundup because yes, there were many sessions, so we will walk you through what you missed and what’s next.
Keep holding down the fort, #AVtweeps.
