Gary Kayye (00:54)
All right. I think we’re on now. Good morning everyone. This is Gary Kayye and Steph Beckett and this is rAVe TV, the industry’s only live T V show. And we come on every Wednesday at nine AM Eastern. And this is gonna be a big day. We got a lot of stuff going on today and tomorrow.

Steph Beckett (00:56)
Yeah.

Okay.

Yeah, we do. It’s it’s a big week. It’s a big week. I think like news-wise, w it’s a little slower. Obviously, we are two weeks out of InfoComm, so we’re taking it a little slow there, but for the rAVe team, it’s very busy because the first thing that I want to remind everyone is replay Infocom 2026 is tomorrow. ⁓ as all of you know, we gather a ton of product video footage from the show floor.

Gary Kayye (01:19)
Yeah.

Steph Beckett (01:40)
This year we got over 1800 videos. Those are all on our site, but instead of making you watch all 1800, if that’s like not how you choose to spend your time, ⁓ we will pull about 50 of those, things that we think are trendy, things that we think are important, ⁓ things that we think are like very good products. Like, Gary, I was paying attention to your booth tours, and anytime you would say,

Gary Kayye (01:45)
But instead of making your sleep.

Steph Beckett (02:08)
This is one of my favorite things I’ve seen. I would pull it and put it into the lineup. So it’s gonna be very fun. I’m excited for everyone to kind of check it out and see what we think are the coolest things.

Gary Kayye (02:21)
Yeah, and it’s and it’s it’s basically curated coverage of the show. Like for example, you know

One of my favorite videos to shoot was the e Ink booth tour. That that video has like a hundred thousand views. And a lot of people probably wouldn’t even look for that video. But the reason why it’s really popular is because they introduced ⁓ a a poster that is the thickness and the weight and the and has the density of a poster that is actually a color display. And they demonstrate that in the video. We’ll show that to you on

Steph Beckett (02:34)
Yeah.

Yes.

Gary Kayye (02:53)
On replay. So it’s little things like that. That was not at the beginning of the video or the end of the video. It’s right in the middle of the video. So you may have missed something.

Steph Beckett (02:58)
Yeah.

That’s wild. That is I mean like I know ⁓ that people watch our videos, obviously that’s why we do them, but when I found out the other day that that one, I think I I checked last night, it was like eighty-six thousand views on that video. And I was like, this is all organic, like that’s so crazy. And all all of the comments prove that it’s organic because some of the people are not even in our industry. They call you like, ⁓ look at this dude. And I’m like And I’m like, these are just random people who found this.

Gary Kayye (03:17)
Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah, interviewer interviewer dude. I read the comments.

Actually I even the negative comments I love because it’s funny, you know, the the I don’t want to g give too much away, but I’ll tell you that before we started the recording, the per the person who was there working with me, ⁓ from their side said, You’re gonna have to move this guy along. He likes to talk. And the the funny thing is some of the comments are about how I kinda push push a little bit on that. So I even the negative comments are good. I like but

Steph Beckett (03:53)
⁓

I don’t think that’s like a I think that’s not a bad thing. You’re just like a very conversational interviewer, so like it’s n I it’s not yeah.

Gary Kayye (04:01)
Yeah. Well, we just need to move the video along. I was trying to keep it under ten

minutes so it would natively live on LinkedIn too. It’ll do well on LinkedIn when we post it there eventually. But but anyway, the point is you need to come to to to replay tomorrow at two PM. ⁓ and you know it’s about an hour and you’ll get sort of curated coverage of the entire of the entire show. And speaking of the show, ⁓ in in attendance was down, down about four th almost four thousand people.

Steph Beckett (04:29)
Mm-hmm.

Gary Kayye (04:29)
⁓

and that’s kind of kind of scary a little bit because ⁓ actually I don’t know if that’s the right image, but ⁓ it’s kind of scary a little bit because ⁓ the ⁓ the usually Vegas is higher than Orlando and to have the the ⁓ attendance down in Vegas a year after Orlando means that maybe people aren’t weren’t taking this show as seriously as they should. Now

I know that their press release ⁓ said the end user attendance was up and it was up as a percentage of overall attendance. I don’t think the numbers were actually up, but the it was up as a percentage of overall attendance. But the and so I guess if you’re if you’re targeting end users, that’s a good thing, right? But I think we have to do something as an industry to fix this because you have ISE in Europe with you know 92,000, 93,000 people, and we have Infocom with declining attendance.

Steph Beckett (05:14)
Yeah.

Gary Kayye (05:25)
Now it will have more attendance next year because they’re adding two new shows, but that will be sort of like you have to pull those numbers out separately to get the Infocom. Hopefully we’ll get that. Hopefully we’ll get the separate numbers we can see. But I think the industry needs to step up and help Avixa fix Infocom.

Steph Beckett (05:43)
Here is what I think. I think that this year in particular it’s down because there were so many like worldly external factors happening.

Gary Kayye (05:54)
I don’t agree.

I d I don’t agree. In fact, the the Canadians were back. ⁓ there are more Europeans in the United States right now than there have been ⁓ in the last two decades, like literally right now, because of the ⁓ World Cup. I we I did see a lot of people who came from Europe ⁓ for the World Cup and went to the went to the show, which I thought was kind of cool. ⁓ and I don’t I think I think meaning where I disagree with you is I I agree with your synopsis, absolutely. What I disagree with is

That Infocom is a European show. I don’t think Europeans want to come to Infocom. I think Europeans want ISC and they want their show to be bigger. I think Infocom is a North American show, and we need to rely on the North American audience. And the North American audience of AV, we know how big it is. We know how many subscribers we know have. We know how big it is. And we’re only getting about, you know, 15% of the total North American audience to come to this show. And, you know, that’s problematic. Now the end-user attendance is.

Steph Beckett (06:35)
I agree.

Gary Kayye (06:54)
always going to be skewed because you know an in user is an in user at one moment in time, right? So somebody who was an end user of A V at a university this month, say the month of June, might be working on you know facilities, but in three months from now we’ll be working on AV and they wish they would have gone to Infocom. So we have to figure out a way to make sure that that we’re capturing their attention. I mean look

Steph Beckett (07:00)
Mm-hmm.

Gary Kayye (07:23)
There’s nothing wrong with the show. The the issue is not fixing the show. The issue is fixing what is it about the event that is keeping people from coming because prior to the pandemic, you know, ISC’s bigger than it was before the pandemic. In fact, ⁓ most of the shows in our industry are the prior to the pandemic, Infocom was like sixty you know, eclipsing close to sixty thousand people, or maybe it was fifty three thousand. We’d have to go back and look. We we should easily be getting closer to that by now.

And because the percentage of European attendance isn’t drastically down, percentage of Asian attendance isn’t drastically down. ISC of course is is is flourishing.

Steph Beckett (07:56)
Uh-huh.

Do we think it is the fact that American integrators aren’t going to trade shows as much anymore? Because mm-hmm.

Gary Kayye (08:10)
Yeah, a hundred percent. I think it’s I think it’s regional shows. You know, we’ve

talked about this, you and I have. Go ahead, I’m sorry.

Steph Beckett (08:17)
⁓ the story that they flashed earlier, this was written by Mark Coxon. He ⁓ you okay? You were speaking to God? you were like talking to God up there for a second. Are you there, God? It’s me, Gary. ⁓ Mark Coxon wrote this piece and he talked about in one of his panels

Gary Kayye (08:22)
Mm-hmm. Yeah. My light just started flashing for some reason in that room. Yeah, something’s falling on me here. Just want to make sure it wasn’t gonna fall.

Steph Beckett (08:42)
It was very full. It was like a hundred and something people came to watch this panel and the person who was hosting it asked like how many people here are integrators? One hand went up. How many here are consultants? Like two hands went up. And then like one manufacturer, and then he said over a hundred hands were owners or end users. So I don’t I don’t know. I think that decision makers are the ones that are trying to attend these shows from now on.

Gary Kayye (08:47)
Yeah.

Steph Beckett (09:11)
And you’re probably right. And the average integrator is just gonna go to something regional. It’s not they’re not as travel heavy as they used to be, so

Gary Kayye (09:19)
Well, they’re not gonna

yeah, they’re not gonna invest the money in going to this event if they don’t see giant value. And in the big integrators, of course, they’re gonna get the manufacturers to come to them. Now, as far as Mark Crossing goes, he works for an integrator. So it makes sense that in users would be coming to his ⁓ to his session, even though he’d like to see more integrators there. The truth of the matter is he’s competing with them and they don’t wanna necessarily go to that. I I so I don’t know that that’s necessarily a great

indicator.

Steph Beckett (09:47)
I guess that’s true,

but the other I mean like he was it was the other people were from Logitech, Microsoft, Steelcase and the moderator was from Visa.

Gary Kayye (09:56)
Yeah, and those are good brands.

Yeah, those are good brands.

Steph Beckett (09:59)
So I guess he was the one integrator on it, but if I wanted to find out more about these brands, I would go, even if I was from a competing integrator. So

Gary Kayye (10:06)
Yeah.

Yeah, I think I think that in you know, if again if you’re a t if you are I I had this thought while I was there. I think the companies that are getting the least out of Infocom are distributors. Like the distributors, like they’re getting the least. Like there’s there’s no reason for distributors right now to be there. That’s problematic, I think, for the show management. I think they’ll they’ll take a look at that, they’ll fix that, right? But right now, that that’s an area like because the inner because the integrators

Steph Beckett (10:17)
Yeah.

Mm.

Gary Kayye (10:39)
The big integrators are there at the show. In fact, the big integrators all had booths at the show, right? And that’s one of the reasons why Moran users are going and makes sense for the integrators to invest in the show. The manufacturers that had booths on the show floor, obviously, there’s a combination of both of two types. One, they’re want to talk to integrators, right? They’re not going to make a deal with a distributor on the show floor. They want to talk to to integrators to sign them up and and/or they want to.

Steph Beckett (10:44)
⁓

Gary Kayye (11:07)
attract in users. Like a company like Crestron, they’re interested in in users understanding their stuff, even though they don’t sell to end users, right? I mean, that totally makes sense. A company like Sony, they’re interested in users. And in fact, you know, we’ve talked to them, you and I have talked to them and and they specifically want in user leads. They don’t sell direct to end users, but they want the relationship with end users because they want to make sure that they understand the end users understand what products they have. I think I think that what we have to do is find a way to to provide value.

Steph Beckett (11:14)
Mm-hmm.

Yeah.

Gary Kayye (11:37)
And I think it’s education. I think education is the biggest value. Provide value to the the integrators where they’ll be w willing to invest to come because the education is the thing you don’t get from regional shows. From regional shows, what you do get really good is with few exceptions, you get really good ability to see the newest products because LG that’s gonna have a boot there is gonna bring their best one product. Epson’s gonna bring their best one product. What you don’t get is education. So when you

Steph Beckett (11:48)
Yeah.

Yes.

Gary Kayye (12:05)
go to Infocom, the education has to outshine everything else and it used to. ⁓ I just think that, you know, that that’s a big area that needs to really be pushed. They should be leading with education and that’s going to help ⁓ grow the attendance.

Steph Beckett (12:18)
I agree. I think education and like CTS opportunities are Avixa’s biggest and and best offering.

Gary Kayye (12:24)
Uhhuh, yeah.

Yep, agreed. Agreed. And I think I think that there’s been a lot of wow around the show. But in fact, it in fact, here here I’ll show I’ll let you look at this. If you go look at at Avixa’s Instagram feed and their LinkedIn feed, find me a post that’s about education. It’s it is so much about the experience on the show floor co ⁓ outweighing all all else. And now the experience on the show floor is awesome. Like I love going to the show and you know, we’re we’re geeks and love that stuff. But

Steph Beckett (12:57)
Yeah.

Gary Kayye (12:58)
Education is barely mentioned. And I think the education is is gonna be the place that really is gonna make this really big in the future. ⁓ if for the because we have to have integrators coming back. You can’t have the industry is not gonna be driven by end users. The end users wanna they they need those coaches, and those coaches come from integrators.

Steph Beckett (13:20)
I agree. I agree. I think that they’re I mean like I don’t think that this was a bad year. I think it’s like a transformational year. I think we’re switching Avix is kinda switching a few things around. We’re bringing in two new shows. It it’s it’s like yeah, next year is gonna be great. So, you know anyway, ⁓ let’s

Gary Kayye (13:21)
Yeah.

No, not at all.

Yeah, the new shows are gonna be exciting too.

Yeah, the by the way,

the two new shows there’s Light of Palooza and Reside. And Reside is a home high-end home automation. ⁓ yeah, they’re gonna actually sort of like potentially gonna be like CDI. And then ⁓ Light of Palooza is an existing lighting automation show. ⁓ so ⁓ mostly high you know, high end residential and some commercial. So I think that will help attract more attention again from in users. I think the integrators is where we have to

Steph Beckett (13:46)
Yes reside.

Gary Kayye (14:12)
Focus and I I I think they’ll figure it out. They’re they’re smart people up there and they’ll realize that they’ve got the data. They definitely have the data to fix it. Yeah.

Steph Beckett (14:13)
I agree.

Yeah,

they do. Alright, before we continue on, we have a new spot from our sponsor and partner, ViewSonic. Check this out really quick on the CDE 31 series of their commercial displays.

Gary Kayye (15:41)
Okay, so in our first product story, Xtron introduced ⁓ an update to the EMS Express software, which is what controls the quant the quantum ultra series of video wall processors. ⁓ Steph, you know, they’re their Xtron’s really big in video wall processing, especially in command and control. And EMS Express ⁓ ultimately adds a bunch of features. the

biggest one I think from an integrator standpoint, management standpoint, is the fact that you can now have 50 different login with unique usernames and passwords that allow people to do everything from control ⁓ the video wall to design, you know, both admin overall and design of ⁓ of layouts ⁓ and activate and act on them as well. ⁓ it also they’ve also doubled the capacity from ⁓ from from the

you know, canvassing of the software of how many how many images you can put up at one time from 10 to 20. ⁓ and also you can now from one admin control up to 20 video walls. I I don’t know who would have that many, but you could imagine, you know, ⁓ like the city of LA getting ready for the Olympics. They’re gonna have a heck of a command center. In fact, in fact, I actually helped work on that, ⁓ which is kind of cool. Yeah, I did actually. Yeah. ⁓ Brad Caldwell’s ⁓ company

Steph Beckett (16:56)
⁓ really? That is cool.

Gary Kayye (17:01)
IMS did it and I worked with them last summer. ⁓ and ⁓ it’s it’s now gone online and they’re using it. They’re kind of practicing with it now with the ⁓ with the ⁓ World Cup. But yeah, it’s it’s they’ve got some work to do on it still. But yeah, so this update is now available. So check it out. Mm-hmm.

Steph Beckett (17:18)
That’s awesome. ⁓

next piece of news: new services just dropped. I know that it is very in right now for manufacturers, integrators, pretty much everybody to offer a service. So AV Pro launched one, and this is AV Pro design services specifically for integrators. ⁓ this is basically a dedicated team of architects that will help integrators design, program, and deploy professional AV systems.

⁓ so basically they can serve market segments, business, corporate, education, government, hospitality, basically all of them. Retail, house of worship, luxury residential. and basically they’re they’re looking to be more. I think that AV Pro’s whole thing here is they’re looking to be more than simply a manufacturer. They are looking to be

A solutions provider. And everyone who wants to be a solutions provider is switching over to offering services. Distributors offer services right now. Almo has that whole services arm. ⁓ I I think like, you know, service as a service is is popping right now as a trend.

Gary Kayye (18:27)
All right. So in something really, really cool. this company Shade Innovations introduced Chaos Vinyl, which is basically

Steph Beckett (18:32)
I like this too.

Gary Kayye (18:37)
A clear vinyl to replace ⁓ or or to augment, say screen porches. So instead of using screen in the wintertime, and stuff, we a lot of outdoor shades exist, but these are clear vinyl outdoor shades or optic optically transparent shades. ⁓ they bond together as they go down, ⁓ which creates a kind of a seal. So you can imagine a screen porch being tran sort of like transformed.

for use in the sum in the winter time with something like this because you still get the views of the screen porch but you don’t get the the cold of the screen porch. It’s definitely a very high end unique product. It’s not for any not for just anyone. But ⁓ you know if you have the kind of home that you want to do this in, this is kind of cool. But ⁓ the each ⁓ strip comes in twenty four inch wide pieces. So again they bond together as they go down. So it’s a pretty cool cool system.

Steph Beckett (19:34)
Yeah, you gonna get one?

Gary Kayye (19:36)
Man, I wish. I think these probably can be expensive. I mean, I definitely have one of those screen porches that could use something like this. so yeah, I’m not gonna lie. I I think it’s kinda cool.

Steph Beckett (19:37)
Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah, I agree. Can so hey shade innovations, can Gary get a coupon code?

Gary Kayye (19:51)
Yeah, I know. It’s it’s pretty awesome, man. It does look really it

does look really good. ⁓ and you know, they do some really creative things with both screens and shades.

Steph Beckett (19:59)
They do.

I wonder if this will be at Cedia Expo. I would love to see it in person. Yeah. All right. Well, we have another s quick spot from our sponsor and partner, Crestron. Check out this piece on Spotify Camp Nou and we’ll be right back.

Gary Kayye (20:04)
I I’m sure. I’m sure they’ll show it there, yeah.

Steph Beckett (21:22)
Great. So let’s keep on keeping on. Do you want to do the crest drawn story, Gary, or you want me to do

Gary Kayye (21:28)
So I can do it. ⁓ so ⁓ they now have a ⁓ the configure pro platform for the home OS. We got a lot of home stories, I think, preparing for ⁓ yeah. Exactly. So anyway, it allows you it’s a it’s a configuration program that allows you to to ⁓ you know basically design

Steph Beckett (21:36)
Yeah, it’s a big residential week. I think we’re preparing for C Dia Expo.

Gary Kayye (21:49)
⁓ home control systems a little bit easier and integrate av over ip in addition to it’s it’s aimed to be you know it it’s aimed at integrators obviously ⁓ but ⁓ yeah it’s available for the crust on home os platform they’ll I’m sure they’ll show it at at a CD and that’s the reason why they’re promoting this at this time but ⁓ but they had a lot of stuff at Infocom I’m sure we’re gonna talk about tomorrow on ⁓ on replay so you want to stay tuned for that.

Steph Beckett (22:19)
Absolutely. ⁓ next up, how do you know how to say this brand name? I’ve this is one I’ve always read but never pronounced. Dirac? Dirac? Well, they have this live active room treatment. It’s now available in their live processor. So the Dirac ⁓ basically live active room treatment is a virtual audio processor. It’s PC and Mac, and it applies room correction to audio before it even reaches the sound system.

Gary Kayye (22:24)
Dirac? Dirac? Yep. Mm-hmm.

Steph Beckett (22:49)
So it gives like listeners this way to measure and optimize their room through software alone and like the computer that they already have. They don’t have to buy a bunch of new stuff. ⁓

Gary Kayye (23:01)
Well, they

also license it, so therefore this would be built into ⁓ process like audio processors and E V controllers from companies like Morantz, I think is one of the ones that ⁓ that

Steph Beckett (23:13)
Mm-hmm.

Gary Kayye (23:15)
That license Dirac, ⁓ Yamaha licenses Dirac. So so I think you’ll see this also built into those as well. Yeah. Yeah.

Steph Beckett (23:17)
Yep.

Audio control, D non, yeah.

So another thing that will probably be at Cedia Expo and I would like to check it out. I would like to get a demo. ⁓ but yeah.

Gary Kayye (23:34)
All right. So Wisycom or Wisycom I should say, ⁓ has expanded their s systems ⁓ of wireless products with the MPR sixty, which is a wideband, it’s an E IEM and an IFB receiver, which you know is gonna be great for live events kind of stuff, mostly for ⁓ stadium kind of applications where you’re trying to mic everything in the stadium.

⁓ so they have a new version of it. They’ve got a much bigger ecosystem than they had before. This thing includes some compatibility with Giga Giganet Eth gig gigabit Ethernet, but also has Dante. It includes Sure Show Link and ⁓ Sound Devices Next Link return channel information. So it’s compatible with a lot of the other systems that are out there. So if you’re using, for example, on field ⁓ a sure microphone system to pick up the players.

it can pop it can tap into the same wireless system that wiscom’s using for maybe the coaches to communicate where you’re recording that or you’re using that as part of your live events system. And of course, you know, you gotta have antennas all over the stadium to do this kind of stuff. And Wisycom ha has ⁓ has ⁓ a bunch of partners there as well.

Steph Beckett (24:44)
Yes.

Nice. And speaking of sure, ⁓ we have a quick spot from them for today on ten years of Microflex Advance.

Gary Kayye (24:57)
Yeah, I was surprised

at Infocom when they told me that it had been ten years since they introduced the first one.

Steph Beckett (25:02)
That I guess that’s true. I do recall that that was like their big thing in twenty sixteen. My yeah, my first infocom. So ⁓ check out this spot and Gary and I will be right back.

Gary Kayye (25:04)
Yeah.

Steph Beckett (27:34)
Alright, and if you want to check out the full video, I think it’s about 10 minutes long. It’s on Shure’s YouTube, so you can go check that out.

Gary Kayye (27:40)
Yeah, you

should definitely watch it. ⁓ it’s it’s ⁓ it’s pretty amazing because, you know, they kind of, you could argue, invented the technology. What was what was surprising to me was, you know, 75 years ago they had the idea for this, conceptualized it, and then and started drawing how to do it. Of course, it would have been very difficult and expensive to do back then, but ⁓ it’s amazing that that they have people thinking that forward, that you would even need that, you know, the whole concept of even needing that.

Steph Beckett (28:06)
Yeah. Yeah.

Gary Kayye (28:09)
And I imagine this was all government stuff, right? These were pe these were like government meetings that they wanted to record and ⁓ and review. I I imagine it’s that kind of stuff. It wasn’t like the McDonald’s board of directors got together and said we should record our meetings. so ⁓ yeah, I imagine this is this is pretty cool. So it’s it’s like a documentary, so you should check it out.

Steph Beckett (28:19)
Yeah.

Absolutely. So continuing on with the news, this is a local integrator to us. Gary, this is a residential integrator out of Raleigh, North Carolina. I pass by their office quite frequently. they acquired Sound Components, which is another audio video home automation company ⁓ out of Miami. So it’s kind of cool to see ⁓ a local integrator to us, a you know, CI kind of growing a little bit. and also they’re gonna have

Gary Kayye (28:36)
Mm-hmm.

Steph Beckett (28:56)
Their show, the Audio Advice Live, it’s in Raleigh every year in August. And Corey and I are gonna go this year. So it’s always in a hotel downtown. They rent out like all the suites and all the suites have like different ⁓ you know, manufacturers doing a bunch of demos and stuff. It’s pretty cool.

Gary Kayye (29:15)
Yeah, and we have we have a case study that’s features on features L Acoustics and what they’re doing with the L Isa or what I call Lisa and the K2 arrays ⁓ for Lorde, who’s back on tour. ⁓ and I I’m I when I saw that case study, I was kind of surprised. I didn’t know that Lourdes was still a thing. ⁓ but ⁓ my my daughter was a big fan like 10 years ago. I didn’t realize that she was still around, but I guess it makes sense, right? I mean, is she is she is she still big?

Steph Beckett (29:28)
Yeah.

Okay.

Yeah. Yeah, she came out with an album

gosh, was it last year that she came out with an album? But it’s very good. Yeah. yeah. Her first big album was like twenty thirteen, twenty fourteen. So

Gary Kayye (29:47)
Just shows how old I am. So

I was gonna say my daughter

was definitely in high school. ⁓ and I remember her sitting in the back listening and I was like, Who is that? And she was telling me I was like, That seems like a odd name, but yeah. Anyway, we

Steph Beckett (29:55)
Yes.

Yeah. She’s she’s what,

she’s is she from New Zealand?

Gary Kayye (30:07)
I don’t have no idea. I I don’t I don’t know anything about her other than I probably could recognize one of her songs. But ⁓ as we mentioned, top of the hour, we have replay ⁓ Infocom 2026 tomorrow at 2 p.m. It does qualify for all the CTS is so you get it. ⁓ and it’s basically all of our favorite stuff from Infocom. ⁓ and ⁓ we’ll we’re gonna curate it. You’re not gonna see full videos, you’re gonna see little s snapshots of videos.

Steph Beckett (30:09)
well.

Gary Kayye (30:35)
of ⁓ you know, featuring some of the most exciting things that we’ve ⁓ that we captured at the show. So like like Steph said, we’re gonna focus on about fifty products.

Steph Beckett (30:46)
Absolutely. and some I picked out because I was like, that’s kinda funky, that’s kinda cool. And others I picked out because they were my favorites, others I picked out because I went into commercial A V Reddit and saw what people were talking about there. And other ones like I checked out myself and thought it was cool. So I’ve tried to collect things from everywhere when I’ve put this together. So I hope you guys like it. ⁓ and then otherwise we have a ⁓ crestron launch and learn coming up if

The if the short spot on the Spotify Camp Nou like interested you, this is gonna be kind of a full hour on all about how Crestron partnered with them, how they were trying to turn this stadium into like more of a 365-day venue rather than just for games. It’s gonna be July 7th at noon Eastern. So definitely come. It’ll be a good conversation. Tim Albright is gonna be the host.

And he will bring on a bunch of different people from Crestron to talk about that project, what they did, what they learned. So if that is something that interests you, definitely come and check it out. ⁓ so yeah.
