The headlines say the global supply chain is recovering. Cargo ships are moving again, warehouse shelves are no longer bare, and lead times on just about everything—from semiconductors to server racks—are shrinking back to pre-pandemic norms.

But here’s the truth: in the AV world, “normal” still isn’t simple—and assuming all is well can cost you valuable time, budget, and momentum.

So yes, the global supply chain is stabilizing. But should you still plan for AV delays? Absolutely. And here’s why.

Let’s break down what’s shaping the future of large-scale AV projects and how organizations are making smarter, more sustainable investments that scale.

As organizations increasingly rely on dynamic visual displays for communication, collaboration, and engagement, video walls have become more sophisticated and essential than ever.

Higher education is evolving rapidly. As institutions strive to meet the needs of diverse learners, modernize campuses, and stay competitive, technology plays a crucial role in shaping the future of education. One area where technology is making a transformative impact is audio-visual (AV) solutions.

AV technology enhances collaboration, engagement, and accessibility, creating environments where students and faculty can thrive. But with so many options on the market, which solutions are truly essential for today’s higher education campuses?

Here are five must-have AV technologies that every modern institution should consider.

As the corporate world continues to evolve, so do the technologies that power it. From hybrid work and global collaboration to immersive client experiences, audio-visual (AV) technology has become a cornerstone of modern business operations.

But with so many advancements emerging, how do you know which technologies to prioritize? In 2025, the focus is on efficiency, scalability, and innovation. Here are the top AV trends transforming corporate spaces and what your business should consider investing in now.

As the new year begins, many organizations are taking stock of their technology investments and planning for the months ahead. In a world where hybrid work, global operations, and seamless communication are the norm, AV systems have moved from a “nice to have” to a critical operational asset.

But here’s the challenge: AV investments can sometimes feel like a black hole—expensive, difficult to manage, and hard to quantify in terms of ROI. The good news? With a strategic approach, you can turn your AV systems into one of the smartest investments your organization makes in 2025.

Here’s how to ensure your AV budget works harder, smarter, and delivers maximum value this year.

Customization has long been the gold standard in conference room AV. Traditionally, AV integrators would source individual hardware components—microphones, cameras, displays—and design bespoke systems tailored to each client’s needs. But as technology has advanced, pre-engineered room types are emerging as a smart, efficient solution for many businesses.

So how do you decide between a custom-designed system and a pre-engineered solution? The answer depends on your room’s requirements, your budget, and how quickly you need your AV system up and running. Here’s how to determine the best approach for your organization.
