Well, Gary will focus on every single product used in huddle or meeting spaces and call out the best (and not so best) products out there to use and, well, Dana will be more politically-correct and explain why some of the newest UCC features should be adopted by every IT-manager or facility – stuff like single-touch video calling, annotation, moderation, wireless collaboration and more. It’ll be worth the hour you’ll spend in it and, not only that, you’ll earn 1.5 CTS CUs from AVIXA just for listening and watching (no test required!!!). But, for now, here’s a podcast between Gary and Dana where they try to convince you to attend with a new product TEASE!

SEP 12, 2019 | Absen recently added their first, ever, distributor in Almo ProAV. Their strategy is in the hands of one Adam Coleman and you get to hear his pitch of why you should put in an LED instead of a projector in classrooms and meeting rooms. It’s compelling and it gives reason to consider Absen’s iCon Series of all-in-one LED walls — especially in the 1.2mm pixel range — instead of a projector in long-term applications.
