Hi #AVtweeps. It’s July, but that means it’s the perfect time to reflect on InfoComm before we jump into the fall trade show circuit. Mark Coxon is also reflecting on InfoComm in his latest blog. He writes about a few of the trends that were most important or present, as well as a few of the products that impressed him. Read that piece here.

Also, don’t get it twisted. We have plenty of news for the beginning of July. From the SMART Board GX Plus to Extron’s new column array speakers, we have all the news you need!

P.S. Don’t forget to fill out this month’s Temperature Check Survey, all about immersive AV. We randomly pick two respondents to win $50 Amazon gift cards!
