In our fourth episode of Making Waves we ask the question, why in 2023 is there still a need to talk about diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI), and well-being?  This session is hosted by AV Magazine's David Allen and Amit Patel, with special guests Iffat Chaudhry and Rachel Hunt.   

In the third episode of Making Waves we explore extended reality and its impact on multiple areas, from the workplace and training through to entertainment. We begin the show in style with an interview with Jeremy Dalton, PwC's head of AR and VR in which he shares his insight into the use of these immersive technologies in the workplace.
You can hear more from Jeremy soon as he is a presenter and panellist at AVWorks, AV Magazine's free virtual conference exploring AV's pivotal role in the workspace. It's taking place on Friday 2 October and we have an incredible line-up including speakers from Google, the BBC, Uber, Bloomberg, WeWork and Zaha Hadid Architects.

From healthcare and education through to corporate, the session explored how different sectors are  adopting and benefiting from alternate realities.
