Recorded February 20, 2026

The panel this week is full of guest voices. The news segment examines AI-driven collaboration tools, particularly automatic recordings and transcripts, and the governance risks they introduce. The focus isn't hype, but ownership, confidentiality, consent, and what happens when institutional policy lags behind platform features.

Then the panel explores storytelling as a leadership skill. The discussion centers on intentional framing, timing, and how AV professionals can better communicate impact to stakeholders beyond technical specifications.

The final segment discusses furniture development for learning environments. The conversation highlights how intentional furniture design influences pedagogy, flexibility, and long-term scalability, balancing showcase spaces with sustainable campus standards.
