Happy Wednesday, everybody! Welcome to your latest ProAV newsletter. I always joke that if I’m doing my job well, there’s never a slow news day. This past week has been a little slower in the news department. Makes sense, of course. ISE was a few weeks ago, and many releases were scheduled around that show. However, the size of this newsletter proves there is always interesting stuff happening in our industry if you just look around. 

Mark Coxon provides his thoughts on the many video bars at the show — and how impressed he was at the video bar renaissance that has hit our industry. Hope Roth writes about choosing the right booth staff and the importance of treating every visitor with respect. 

Don’t miss the news — Meyer Sound’s efforts around hearing health, ADI’s SunBrite Veranda 4 Series, a new interactive display from Samsung and more. 

Enjoy!
