Recorded March 21, 2025

In this episode, the crew explores the absurdities of their roles, the challenges of getting a seat at the table for capital projects, and the importance of being the canary in the coal mine when it comes to network issues. With a blend of humor and practical insights, they tackle everything from AI avatars to the intricacies of AVoIP technology.

As the conversation unfolds, the panel shares their experiences with navigating the complexities of institutional collaboration, the need for effective communication with IT departments, and how to advocate for the AV perspective in large-scale projects. Expect plenty of laughs, a few tangents, and a whole lot of AV wisdom.
