Learn From Home ~ Commercial AV Virtual Summit

WFH. Work from home. This hashtag has become synonymous with our current COVID-19 crisis. More than three-fourths of the US is under some form of “shelter in place”. Basically this means you are not going to work. AVNation, AVIXA, and a host of companies came together to bring to the commercial audiovisual community three days of keynotes and education. April 14 – 16 we heard from David Labuskes, Randy Klein, Anna Csontos, Chuck Wilson, and others about how the commercial AV industry has overcome crisis in the past and how we’ll overcome this one. In between the keynotes, our instructors taught on marketing, new streams of revenue, experience design, audio in 2020 and more. Watch at your leisure the keynotes and education from those three days.

Editor’s note: We had some technical issues so not all of the education sessions were recorded. We apologize for any inconvenience.
