rAVe ProAV Edition

As we come upon Thanksgiving (for our American readers), I always like to think about the things I’m grateful for. I’m thankful for my job! rAVe has been such a rewarding place to grow and learn. I’m thankful for all of you who read the things I write and who help me learn and better serve the AV industry. I am also thankful for my co-workers, who are very much considered extended members of the Beckett family. I have so much to be thankful for, and I hope you feel the same as you spend some time with loved ones this week.

Thank you all for everything you do to support the rAVe team! Even if you just read this newsletter sometimes, it means a lot.

Which Speaker is Louder? A Future #AVTweep’s Experiment
