June 26, 2019 | Volume: 16 | Issue: 12

Welcome to another issue of rAVe HomeAV Edition! We’re just back from ProAV’s megashow, InfoComm, which took place earlier this month in Orlando. If you didn’t get a chance to go (or did but didn’t get to see everything you wanted), head over to our InfoComm 2019 Show Microsite and read, watch or listen to our coverage — we have 1,640 videos (yes, our videographers shot over 1,600 videos in three days), 300+ new product news stories and blogs, 2,000+ photos from the show floor and nearly 100 podcasts. So, you can read it, watch it or listen to it.

As a starter, the very first story posted below is Gary’s “The Themes of InfoComm 2019” column. In it, he discusses the major trends, applications and technologies that shaped InfoComm 2019 and the nearly 1,000 manufactures who exhibited. I think you’ll find it an easy read with and a decent review of the show, overall.

Thanks for reading, and as always, let us know what you think! Email me at sara@ravepubs.com or Gary Kayye at gary@ravepubs.com.

COLUMNS

+ The Themes of InfoComm 2019 [Gary Kayye]

Over the years I’ve been in this industry (this was my 33rd InfoComm — 34th annual show with InfoComm/AVIXA), the show has evolved from a technology-based show to a product-based show and, more recently, it’s become an applications-based show. Never was that more apparent than at InfoComm 2019. Here are other themes I thought dominated the show.

+ Building Resilience Into Your Schedule [Lee Distad]

I’d say that the sheer number of aphorisms devoted to problems is a testament to how important it is to do your best to prepare for them in advance, in order to minimize their impact. As it was explained to me a long time ago, professionalism isn’t about not having problems; you’re always going to have problems. Instead, professionalism is about how you overcome those problems.
