rAVe ProAV Edition

By the time you’re reading this, I will probably be on my way home from the Almo E4 D.C. stop! And surprise, surprise the bad weather follows me on my travels. This time 40 MPH winds and potential tornadoes. You really can’t make this up. At this point, just expect me to show up eight hours late and rather haggard. 


Anyway none of that has anything to do with y’all so I’ll lead you straight to David Danto’s latest blog all on the power of networking! He has hosted a CAMP-NY event each year for 25 years, and he writes about how networking with others in the industry has only gotten more important over time. Read it here.


Don’t miss the news from the past week so keep it scrolling, y’all! Talk soon!

FEATURED SURVEY

rAVe March 2026 Temperature Check Survey — Now OPEN

As higher education evolves, many institutions are rethinking how classrooms are designed and used. While traditional lecture-style spaces still dominate many campuses, there’s growing demand for environments that can support multiple teaching styles, hybrid participation and collaborative learning. For AV teams, integrators and manufacturers, the challenge is figuring out what “flexibility” actually means in practice and which technologies make it possible. This month’s Temperature Check looks at how the industry is approaching adaptable learning spaces and the AV tools helping classrooms respond to changing needs.


BONUS: We’re going to choose two random participants to receive a $50 Amazon gift card, so be sure to fill out the survey for your chance to win!
