AVWeek: Recent Episodes
AVNation TV
From the Network for the Audiovisual industry comes the weekly news round up. Each week we gather the most important and impactful news to the AV industry, gather a group of AV professionals, and discuss what the impact of the news will be on the industry.
We're back in the studio! Almost at full working order. But even if we were hosting through a tin can, or making the editor do it (as with ResiWeek) we are committed to bringing you the latest news and stories for the commercial side of the AV industry. Joining us this week is Senior Product Marketing Manager for Q-SYS Mike Brandes, Client Success Manager for Control Concepts Brittany DiCesare and AV Veteran Dawn Meade.

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.
