Just like that, we’ve made it through May. I look at this past month with excitement and happiness. I’m so thrilled we were able to have a team at ISE — even though our team was smaller than usual and we were in a new place — it was amazing. I’m in awe of everything everyone does here. The rAVe team are truly Energizer bunnies who work extremely gracefully under pressure. I hope you feel the same way about your teams that I feel about mine!
Speaking of your teams, I know they’ve all been busy this past month. Between ISE and InfoComm, I can’t think of anyone in AV who hasn’t been busy. Interested in seeing what manufacturers will have at the show? This is a great time to check out Gary Kayye’s Rants & rAVes — these are pretty much all InfoComm editions and are about what different manufacturers will have this time. Interested in WyreStorm’s UCC and AV-over-IP solutions? AG Neovo’s digital signage and BYOM-compatible displays? There is plenty to see, sample and learn before InfoComm. Plus, you can catch everything you didn’t see at ISE! DTEN’s ONboard? Sharp NEC Display’s latest and greatest? Go ahead and check out everything there is to see.
Finally, check out Barco’s Meeting Equity podcast episodes we have for you this time. If you’re interested in learning more of the nitty-gritty behind room design for meeting equity — this is for you. My favorite episode this time focuses on why the experience is what people focus on in a meeting room — not technology. It’s a good reminder of what being an integrator is all about!
P.S. If you’re attending InfoComm and for some reason aren’t registered yet, don’t forget: Use rAVe’s code, “RAVE” during registration for a free show floor pass!
P.P.S. Happy Memorial Day! Back to the grind tomorrow, everyone!
