The Covid-19 pandemic has rapidly changed the way we work, live and interact, causing additional burden and heightened stress on our mental wellbeing. Working within a fast-paced sector that is the AV industry, can take a significant toll: long hours, company acquisitions, career changes or loss of employment or business opportunities are challenges to the workforce that can create long lasting impact on our mental health. This AVIXA® panel discussion aims to raise awareness of the mental health conversation in AV and to offer information and pathways for mental health support available to individuals and organisations. Our hope is to provide information about support services for those who are suffering, regardless of their source of hardship. The panel includes representatives from our industry sharing their stories, as well as Christine Morgan, CEO of the National Mental Health Commission.

IoT, Big Data, AI, Cobots. The Fourth Industrial Revolution has begun and it will change our lives. A generation ago the tech we use every day was science fiction. One more generation and what seems implausible will be ubiquitous.

What does this mean for Pro AV? - How can we ride the wave of change? We don’t have all the answers yet but at least lets start asking the right questions. Fortune favours the prepared.

Visualising data generated by Smart Workplaces can be a challenge, and although dashboards seem like a one size fits all solution, there is a lot of ways they can go wrong! In this talk, I'll cover common errors that can ruin your end users' ability to make data driven decisions using dashboards, and also give some quick tips to put you on the right path.

Power over HDBaseT (PoH) is the norm in most digital AV systems today. But how well will the cabling infrastructure - originally designed for just electronic data transmission - support the constant heavy current loads of PoH, historically deployed over power cables? What if the cabling isn’t up to the task and fails at a crucial time? Who would be accountable from a legal perspective in the event of a camera, digital signage or medical imaging system not functioning, especially where there is considerable resultant loss? Would it be the business owner, the building owner, the integrator/installer, the cabler, the equipment supplier? Most likely all of them would be partially accountable under subrogation. So integrator/installer/cabler would incur some liability in the claim. Which begs the Q – what should AV integrators/installers/cablers do to protect themselves from such liabilities, as more and more PoH gear is being deployed over their infrastructure?

In this session, we will explore some of these new opportunities to pave the road for a quick recovery of our industry.
