Getting AV pros into the industry has typically been a happy accident. Go to any trade show and the question will come up, "How did you get into AV?" With the rising cost of labor and the mass retirement of the older generations, the AV industry needs to figure out how to recruit and train the next wave of AV professionals. Our panel discusses various recruiting and internship programs. We also look at wireless 4k and what that means for bandwidth issues. Between different governments selling off bandwidth, and the rising use of wireless devices, AV users are in a tight spot.

Fixin' it yourself. What companies like Microsoft are doing to let AV professionals do to fix, repair, and update their own gear. What that means for AV users. We then swing to the soft (ware) side of Microsoft as the group talks about Teams and how well they play well with others.
