As those dreaded Q2 results started to come out this July, it wasn’t really a surprise to see companies — even ProAV powerhouse Barco — with sales declines in the first half of 2020. This week, our LAVNCH EMEA partner, Futuresource Consulting, acknowledged all this but also took some time to write about the future of the ProAV market as we start to think about projections in 2021. Yes, it’s never too early to be thinking about 2021, and I know I’m not the only one daydreaming of the days that used to seem just … normal.
Mcintyre-Brown writes, “If there is one thing that has been shining through, it’s the wealth of creativity and innovation which is being unleashed within the industry.” One of his predictions: collaboration will lead the way to AV recovery. To see what he means, find the story and give it a wave — I mean a read — below.
Also below, Scott Tiner’s well-written truth for why we should be promoting diversity in the AV industry. That, and plenty of product news from LogMeIn, Extron, Absen, Nureva, Poly, Roland, NETGEAR, Logitech, Visix and MXL.
I can’t believe this is our last rAVe [UCC] of July. The next time we talk to you, we’ll have fewer than five months to go in 2020. But who’s counting?
