In today’s newsletter, check out Mark Coxon’s InfoComm 2024 recap. In it, he notes that while InfoComm 2024 was a success, there was no product that provided much innovation. We even spoke a little bit on rAVe [TV] last week about how most current products are cyclical updates to existing tech. What do you think? Do you agree? Read Mark’s full column here.

In our other featured column this time, Gary spoke with Huddly’s CEO, Graham Williams, about the recent price cut to Huddly’s cameras and its reasoning. Williams says it’s all about creating greater access for end users. Read more here.

Finally, we were so busy with our pre-InfoComm coverage that I did not mention for you all to go and take a look at the Microsoft Teams updates for May. I included that piece below but also here. Enjoy!

We’ve been giving away our Best of InfoComm Awards for a long time — since before my time at rAVe. And every year, after InfoComm, the team sits down and discusses the products that stuck out to us.
