Hi, welcome to the first March edition of our UCC newsletter! I’ve had a difficult time coming up with something good to write about — it’s been a hard time to be in news, no matter what type of news you work in. I think it’s important more than ever to be positive and to keep spreading sunshine.
I have three columns for you today, as a Monday present. The first is Gary Kayye’s famous Krystal Ball: He will tell you the future of our industry, and you don’t even have to call a 1-800 number and pay $99.99! Next up, I have a column from Scott Tiner on digital transformation — he explains what it actually is and its impact on AV. Finally, Mark Coxon has some hot takes on the recent mergers and acquisitions among AV integrators. They are all good reads, and I’m excited to hear your thoughts on them.
In other news, AVIXA has an InfoComm update among all the recent cancellations surrounding COVID-19, Lifesize and Serenova are merging, ClearOne has won another patent judgment against Shure, and more.
