Recorded March 12, 2025

The crew dives into a raucous discussion about the nuances of professional development in the AV world.

As part of the global Podcasthon, we're proud to feature the work of the AVIXA Foundation. Joined by special guest Joseph Valerio from the AVIXA Foundation, the panel explores the importance of fostering career pathways and the role of education in shaping the future of AV professionals.

With a preview of the upcoming NWMET Conference, the conversation shifts to the value of networking, sharing experiences, and the unique environment that smaller conferences provide.

Don't forget to share the podcast with your colleagues, and if you enjoy what you hear, consider supporting the AV SuperFriends!
