It’s here, everyone! LAVNCH WEEK 6 is here! I’ll forego my usual intros to implore you to join us RIGHT NOW!

And tomorrow, we’re having another day full of digital signage! You won’t want to miss these so make sure to register here. Plus, we’re including 2.5 AVIXA CTS RUs for each full day you join live!

That’s all from me; enjoy this newsletter!

COLUMNS

+ The Space Between: Transitions in Hybrid Work [Mark Coxon]

Over the last couple of years, with the shift to remote work, one of the biggest positive changes people really like is that they no longer have a long commute.

Interestingly enough though, studies show that the ideal commute is actually not zero minutes, but rather 10-15 minutes.

+ Ask Dr. Ann: What’s the Best Videoconferencing Software? [Dr. S. Ann Earon]

The “best” videoconferencing software is the one that meets the needs of your organization and users, and too few AV/IT folks take the time to find out what their users truly need.
