Making Waves (AV Magazine‪)‬ avmagazinemakingwaves

The first of a group of interviews conducted at InfoComm in Vegas, we kick off with the ever lively Joe Pham who we caught post his keynote talk. Really interesting piece about the new technologies coming your way over the next year or so. Forgive the sound quality. It was noisy... a challenge for any podcaster.

We talked in Part 1 about the way video conferencing is being used in schools, but what we didn’t address was the subject of safety. This is quite a hot topic at the moment. VC is more accessible than ever before, but how can we be certain children are protected? This episode is a must-listen.

Here's a question we haven't asked in quite a while: What role is AV playing in schools? Now, in quite a revealing conversation with the amazing Mina Patel, Clive Couldwell finds out. There's a lot to say. So much in fact we've split up the conversation into two parts. Here's Part 1.

Clive Couldwell talks to Jamie about business transformation, leadership, hears her honest thoughts about the UK AV industry and learns more about Jamie's passionate interest in cars. After all, the AV community does loves its wheels.

In this episode, we talk with Laila Hede Jensen about her almost 20 years experience in the pro AV industry, digital signage trends, attracting young talent and why she decided to set up her own consultancy.  

In this episode we talk with Faye Bennett our AV Consultancy of the Year Winner and returning guest Iffat Chaudhry of Involve about AV Awards entries, the importance of consultancy roles, imposter syndrome, screen fatigue, remote vs hybrid, attracting and retaining staff, plus some ‘breaking news’ and what we’re looking forward to at ISE.
