rAVe ProAV Edition

What’s up, everyone? What a week it’s been! Not only did I celebrate my birthday Monday, but Tuesday we kicked off LAVNCH WEEK 13. It’s probably one of my favorite LAVNCH WEEKs if I’m being honest. UC Day is today at 12:30 ET, so if you want to join in the fun, you can register here!

Anyway, Brooke Erickson has a column this week all about the AV/Security convergence. It goes quite well with Security Day of LAVNCH WEEK yesterday. Read it here.

Finally, I wrote a letter to you all about something that’s changing here at rAVe [PUBS] and that is our “Best of” awards program. Read my letter here.

Don’t miss the news. It’s a big issue this week.

See you on the internet!

Executive Editor, rAVe [PUBS]
