26North's acquisition of AVI-SPL is a major turning point in the AV industry. What this move means for the higher education space and technology managers within. When cloud storage and similar solutions were introduced they were a little shunned and feared. Now AI has taken that mantle, so should we go about re-examining those opportunities more? What open AV standards means across a campus. The evolution of E-Paper and its effect for both sustainability as well as interesting tech in the classroom.

We had an episode right on the InfoComm show floor, but this time we have enough space between it to look back. Was it a success for HETMA and the higher education space altogether? Mergers and acquisitions are making a wave in the industry. What this growth means for the space and how it affects technology managers across campuses. Speaking of HETMA, they announce the "#RoadTo10K". Just what does that mean? Making higher education the focus and growing as a community.
