@ped1971 @brAVe_britt_ @JosiahWay Couldn't have said it better myself!

@frankpadikkala @chris_neto @HETMA_org 1/ All great stuff! This is where I lay out my original opinions, and the 2nd to last paragraph is key: higheredav.com/2021-02-integr… I would expect certain training and volume requirements from mfrs to buy direct just like most integrators have. #AVinTheAM #HETMA23

@chris_neto @HETMA_org While I love my #highered peeps, neither @HETMA_org, I, or @HigherEdAV would be successful if our industry leaders didn't offer me/us a platform to share from. So, here's a huge shoutout to @DavidLabuskes, @ISE_Mike, @joelloyd, & @SarahAVIXA. Thankful 4u! #AVinTheAM #HETMA23

@NJDavidD @kingdomhartman @chris_neto @HETMA_org @NJDavidD, let's think about inclusivity again for a second. There are many families that still can't afford reliable high-speed internet (or reliable computers). Lots of schools gave out mobile hotspots during the pandemic, but can't forever. My 2-cents. #AVinTheAM #HETMA23

@chris_neto @HETMA_org First, I am not an #EndUser any more than an #Integrator using AV in their own boardroom. I support end users. Getting that clear is the 1st step! You should sell direct to #InHouseIntegrators, but if not, at least give us the same tech support & direct RMAs. #AVinTheAM #HETMA23

Q5 @HETMA_org asks: #EndUsers (aka #InHouseIntegrators) rely on close relationships w/manuf. for product information and roadmaps. How has the industry change impacted traditional channel mgmt? “#NowWhat?” What can we do to strengthen relationships across the industry? #AVinTheAM

Q3 @HETMA_org asks: #HETMA was “virtual before it was cool,” holding its 1st #VirtualConference pre-pandemic. “#NowWhat?” What value lies in online #events vs. in-person? Is there a place for both? What about #hybrid? Is one better for learning? For community building? #AVinTheAM

@chris_neto @HETMA_org Advantage? It helps #TechnologyManagers & #Integrators have extra confidence when trying hardware they have never used before. Disadvantage? In many cases these programs require the mfgr to pay to play, and there simply only so much time to review HW. #AVinTheAM #HETMA23

Q2 @HETMA_org asks: With tightened budgets, layoffs, supply chain, & recession planning, programs like #HETMAApproved help #techmanagers make product choices at scale. “#NowWhat?” What advantages/disadvantages exist in product vetting lists by 3rd-party orgs? #AVinTheAM #HETMA23

Q4 @HETMA_org asks: #HigherEd institutions spent the past 3yrs focusing on #hybrid upgrades w/cams, ceiling mics, & UCC integrations. “#NowWhat?” What was forgotten? What stays? What goes? What products/services are next? New tech? Back to the old? #AVinTheAM #HETMA23 #HigherEd

Here is today's #AVinTheAM Topic & Questions for the @HETMA_org #HigherED Takeover (Feb. 19, 2023). Thank you all for joining the conversation. Remember to Be Kind and Do Good Things 😊 #avtweeps #edtech #proav

Q1 @HETMA_org asks: Representation of women & people of color in the AV industry dropped over the pandemic despite DEI initiatives like #HETMA’s #PrismScholarship & #AVIXAWomen/#AVIXADiversity programs. “#NowWhat?” What steps can/should we take as an industry? #AVinTheAM #HETMA23

*BONUS* Q6 @HETMA_org asks: Community & relationship bldg are core aspects of vertical-specific orgs like #HETMA. Take a moment to tag and thank three #AVTweeps who inspire u or opened doors for u. And, “#NowWhat?” What can you/we do to open doors for others? #AVinTheAM #HETMA23

@fremansolutions @MikeSlamer In a reasonable size conf room, the remote participants will not generally notice that small amount of eye movement; they will appreciate looking at you at eye level and sensing you looking their way. This still provides the best balance of local and remote experiences. #AVTweeps

@MikeSlamer Done properly? Dual monitors with the camera between them with the center of the lens at 48" aff. Has been, and always will be, correct. #AVTweeps #UCC #Cameras #ProAV #Audiovisual #Analytical
