I caught up with Nureva’s James Rempel ahead of ISE 2026 to talk about the company’s EMEA debut of the new HDX Series. After previewing the product family at InfoComm 2025, Nureva is bringing the lineup to Barcelona with added features and a bigger presence on the show floor. We also dig into what attendees can expect to see at Booth 2N700 and how Nureva is positioning the HDX Series for the European market.

You’ll want to watch this pre-ISE-2026 videocast featuring SpinetiX CEO Francesco Ziliani and me as we dig into what the company is bringing to ISE 2026.

At the show, SpinetiX will officially launch DSaaS (Digital Signage as a Service) in EMEA while also celebrating its 20th anniversary. We also talk about the new SpinetiX HUB, which goes beyond traditional managed services to include geographically secure data storage designed to meet country-specific data and compliance requirements.

If you want a clear look at where SpinetiX is headed — and why this ISE is a milestone year for the company — this one’s worth watching. Don’t forget to visit its stand at ISE (Hall 4 #4S400).

In this episode, I sat down with David Labuskes, CEO of AVIXA, as he prepares to retire at the end of the year.

We talked about leadership, the evolution of the AV industry since he took on the role in 2012 and what it takes to guide an organization through change. Dave reflected on the lessons he’s learned over the course of his career, how his definition of success has shifted over time and why authenticity, communication and community matter more than ever.

We also discussed AVIXA’s leadership transition, what the next year looks like as the organization prepares for new leadership and what retirement actually means for him beyond the title. It’s a thoughtful look back — and a clear-eyed look ahead — from someone who has helped shape this industry for more than a decade.

In this episode of Rants & rAVes, I’m joined by James Keen to talk about what’s actually changing inside Uniguest — and why it matters.

We dig into the expanded capabilities of Uniguest’s Hub digital engagement platform, how new technologies are being introduced into the European market, and what’s driving the company’s continued global growth. This conversation isn’t about buzzwords or hype — it’s about how digital engagement platforms are evolving, what customers are asking for now, and how Uniguest is scaling across regions without losing focus.

If you’re tracking digital signage, engagement platforms or global AV strategy, this is a solid check-in on where things stand and where they’re headed next. Check out the company at ISE 2026 on stand 5B310.

TGL Presented by SoFi is shaking up the sports world with an arena-based, tech-driven take on golf — and Panasonic is at the center of it. I sat down with Brian Duffy, senior strategic account manager at Panasonic, to break down how the league uses MEVIX RQ50K 50,000-lumen projectors, originally engineered for the Tokyo Olympics. It’s a fascinating look at how large-venue projection is evolving to support entirely new categories of live entertainment. Watch this.

In this episode of Rants & rAVes, I sit down with Vishal Chhatralia, Chief Digital and Innovation Officer at the newly rebranded Nexora — formerly DCC Technology, the parent company behind Almo Pro AV and Exertis.

Nexora unifies 27 specialist businesses under one global identity, and while the brand announcement focused on vision and direction, partners naturally want to know how this actually affects day-to-day business.

I ask Vishal to walk us through the story behind the Nexora name, how the new identity aligns the group, and — most importantly — what this means for Almo partners in North America. We dig into brand strategy, operational continuity and what integrators can expect to stay the same as this transition unfolds.

If you’ve been wondering what this rebrand means for the ProAV channel, this conversation is a great place to start.

In this episode, I’m joined by Panasonic’s Petro Shimonishi and Almo Pro AV’s Angie Greene for a girls’ chat about AV in Motion and why flexible spaces are driving so many projects right now. We talk through Panasonic’s PT-VMZ-AVCART, how the Artome cart works in real-world rooms, and why this kind of setup actually makes life easier for end users. Petro even brought some great visual examples — including one very on-brand karaoke moment.

In this episode, I’m digging into Microsoft’s latest Teams update — one that’s raising a few eyebrows. Starting in December, Teams will automatically mark users as “in the office” when they connect to their organization’s Wi-Fi network. It’s meant to make hybrid work smoother, but it also opens the door to new questions about privacy and workplace tracking.

I’ll break down what this feature actually does, what it doesn’t, and why anyone using Teams should care. Watch and let me know your take.

From restaurants and gyms to stadiums and villas on Lake Como — Bose Professional is bringing immersive sound to every corner of the AV world. I speak with Justin O’Connor about the innovations driving this shift and how integrator feedback is shaping the future of pro audio.

In this episode, Planar’s Robert Detwiler joins me to discuss the Komodo Series — a new line of ultra-fine pixel pitch COB MicroLED video wall displays built for precision and reliability. Hear how Komodo integrates HELIOS LED processing, 8K support and energy-efficient design to meet the demands of corporate, broadcast and hybrid collaboration spaces.
