BuyersClub — Volume 6, Issue 10 — May 19, 2020

May 19, 2020 | Volume: 6 | Issue: 10

Hello there, Buyers.Club! How are you end users doing on this fine and by fine, I mean rainy Tuesday afternoon? I want to pose a few discussion questions. No pressure to answer them, but I like providing some food for thought. What is it like for everyone who is buying AV in this new frontier? How are you deciding what your schools, offices, organizations need? How are you basing your predictions on what you’ll need in the future? You can message me on LinkedIn or email me. Let’s talk about it!

Today’s newsletter is packed full of news. We first have a column from Adam Cox of Futuresource Consulting — where he makes some predictions on the wireless collaboration market in light of COVID-19. Perhaps it will help you answer my above questions. Our other column is from Leah McCann, virtual trade show connoisseur. She attended NAB Show Express — and provided an overview + her thoughts.

In other news, PS Audio released the Stellar Strata Integrated Amplifier, Panasonic has a new PTZ camera for HOW/rental, CEDIA has a new white paper with all the deets about Wi-Fi 6, and DSE is hosting a webinar series about how to manage digital signage networks during COVID-19.

Enjoy!

+ NAB Show 2020 Was Canceled, But NAB Show Express Offered Great Content Anyway [Leah McCann]

Like so many trade shows this year, broadcast mega-event NAB Show, originally planned for April in Las Vegas, could not happen due to COVID-19. In its place, NAB organized its virtual NAB Show Express. I registered and attended part of the online event to soak up some industry education and see what the showcase would be like.
