Event Details
The AV industry helps clients collaborate, experiment, and innovate every day, yet too often treats innovation internally as a destination rather than a discipline. In an AI-driven era, that disconnect is becoming increasingly visible. AI is not simply another technology trend; it is fundamentally collaborative, lowering the barrier to experimentation and demanding faster, more distributed ways of working. This shift is forcing the industry to rethink not just what it builds, but how it learns, adapts, and evolves.
Through a practical discussion with early movers from across the industry, we’ll examine what changes when organizations stop treating innovation as an outcome and start designing the conditions that allow it to happen repeatedly. Rather than prescribing a single model or solution, the session will surface real-world examples, shared patterns, and honest lessons from those already doing the work.
In this May webinar, you will:
- Identify opportunities to apply innovation as a repeatable practice within core AV job functions, including needs assessment, solution design, documentation, and project delivery.
- Learn practical next steps for contributing to innovation within your current role, including how frontline AV professionals can initiate, support, or participate in innovation activities.
- Evaluate real-world examples of innovation practices used in AV project workflows.
