Audio has always been the anchor of AV. Video receives the glitz and glam—and the exaggerated marketing specs—but audio is based on science and engineering. That said, audio has undergone a renaissance over the past three years that has transformed it into a problem-solver that nearly everyone can manage. For decades, you had to be an acoustical engineer to specify, tune and successfully commission a room for audio excellence. But, the modern DSP, Dante, AVB, AV-over-IP and even Spatial Audio have simplified audio inside rooms so well that any AV tech can design and successfully deploy mics, speakers and audio routing gear in virtually any space. This month’s webinar will explore how audio has changed and which products and technologies you should pay attention to. This will be a panel-based webinar that will use a combination of education and individual expertise to details how audio has changed AV, again, forever.

Since 2019, learning spaces have been in flux - especially in higher education. Of course, the pandemic forced all classrooms to adopt some active learning technology, but, more importantly, how GenZ learns and collaborates has transformed education. And, there isn't a school in North America looking to redesign classrooms to accommodate this new way of learning. And it's not simply converting every classroom into an Active Learning Space. It's so, so much more than that. But, it will be an evolution of technology integration over the next five or six years that will ultimately transform all classrooms. Some of it will come via companies like Zoom and Microsoft but, the real transformation will come in making everything frictionless and seamless to both use and manage.So, if you are in Higher-ed, K-12, or sell to either of these market segments, make plans to attend this webinar delivered by THE rAVe Agency's and rAVe [PUBS] own Gary Kayye. And, sign up even if you can't attend live so you can get notified when a copy of the recording is available, too!

No one can predict the future. But, for the past 23 years, Gary Kayye, founder of THE rAVe Agency and rAVe [PUBS], has written the industry's go-to piece for predicting how the upcoming year will evolve for AV, Digital Signage and UCC.
