If you’ve been wondering about projection trends in AV, do I have the column for you. In the latest insight from Futuresource Consulting, Freddie Mossop takes a look at the front projection market — and how it’s projected to reach a value of $4.5 billion in 2026. Even though we are still in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, we are seeing some uplift in the large venue and installation markets — HOWs included.
For our other column this time, Scott Tiner writes about diversity in hiring and its importance in AV. If you’re hiring, take a look at some of the steps he and his team took to ensure a candidate pool with people of all different backgrounds, specialties and more.
The front projection market is projected to reach a value of $4.5 billion by 2026, new research from Futuresource Consulting finds. The figure is buoyed up by an industry-wide shift to high brightness, high resolution, and SSL (laser lightsource), which is the technology required to reach these upper-brightness categories.
I recently had a position open on my team, and decided that we were going to make recruiting a diverse talent pool a priority. As many have discussed over the years, IT tends to be a very homogenous area (high percentage of white men). This homogeneity leads to groupthink, customers not feeling like they are welcome or understood and a wide variety of other issues. Bringing in diverse experiences, thoughts and beliefs is clearly the best way to improve teams and the service they provide.
