What’s Next for Pro AV?

The value of pro AV has never been more apparent than it is today. How do we make the most of this moment to deliver and demonstrate the AV return on investment? How do we leverage the value to create experiences that provide broader and wider access? How do we use our knowledge and our work to foster change?
