rAVe ED [Education] — Volume 15, Issue 15

August 2, 2022 | Volume: 15 | Issue: 15

Hello to my ed #AVtweeps! I hope you’re all doing well and are hitting the ground running for August. For those of you who physically work in schools, I hope the back-to-school season is not setting your hair on fire too badly right now!

It seems in our industry that it’s been a lull between storms for the past month or so. We had a busy summer of trade shows, and now we wait and begin our prep for the fall. Speaking of that, registration for LAVNCH WEEK 6 is officially open — Oct. 24-27. That’s FOUR full days of content aimed at UCC, Emerging Tech, ProAV and Digital Signage. You don’t want to miss it, so I know we’ll see you there!

Also, check out part 2 of Sara Abrons’ series all about what she learned from watching 2,000+ product videos between ISE and InfoComm 2022. Hint: In this article, it’s all about the software.

Finally, Gary Kayye implores you to consider the furniture business — as a recent Barco survey indicates we’re heading back in person soon. Find out more and check out the full survey here.

This is part 2 of an article about all the things I noticed from ISE and InfoComm this year, two shows to which I didn’t go, but as the editor in charge of video titling for rAVe [PUBS] for both, I did watch pretty much every video the team shot from both show floors, which was about 2,000 videos.

+ Why You Should Consider Selling Office Furniture, Or at Least Consider Space Design [Gary Kayye]

I’ve read Barco’s new survey of 1200 executives across 13 countries to find out how the office is changing and how workspaces are used — and it’s enlightening. My biggest takeaway? The business I want to be in right now is selling office furniture and the tech to support it!
