September 6, 2022 | Volume: 13 | Issue: 17
Not to quote Smashmouth first thing as we return from a long weekend, but if you scroll down a bit in this newsletter, you’ll see the events start coming and they don’t stop coming.
Here’s a little more about each of them: Tomorrow at 1 p.m. EDT we will host a next-level collaboration LAVNCH & LEARN with DTEN. Sept. 8 will include a collaborative LAVNCH & LEARN with AVer, Yamaha and Lenovo. ADI will host an event Sept. 15, all about financial leadership. THEN Sept. 20 will include a virtual event to help you learn more about the Metaverse and how to capitalize upon it. BUT THAT’S NOT ALL — LAVNCH WEEK 6 is coming your way, so don’t forget to join us for UCC Day Oct. 24.
So much to do and so much to see! That’s what we get since UCC is such a big part of AV today — even CEDIA Expo is including some UCC solutions on the show floor. Learn more about that in Gary Kayye’s latest column. See ya!
So, why would a home tech show add a UCC pavilion to its 2022 event? The simple answer is that working from home all-of-a-sudden became a thing for more than just outside sales reps.
In technology, we often use terms like innovation and disruption. Yet, in our industry, I have been thinking lately about the lack of true innovation over the past few years. I have to think that some of this has to do with the pandemic, after all it is hard to innovate when you are simply trying to keep your businesses and families healthy. While the shortage of chips and other products certainly has not helped, one could argue that necessity should have been the mother of invention. But from where I am sitting, that has not happened.
