This week I was reminded of how much #AVintheAM has changed since it started and how it's grown. Thanks, Matt Montgomery, for reminding me how consistency has been key to its success. What began as a...

Q5 If an AV system can predict a failure, who should get the alert first? What would you trust AI to fix on its own, and what should always require a human technician? #AVinTheAM #AVtweeps
Q4 If an AV system can monitor itself, diagnose problems, fix common issues, and learn from previous failures... do we still need traditional AV service contracts or does this now create new SLAs? #AVinTheAM #AVtweeps
Q3 At what point does “self-healing AV” become a liability? If AI makes the wrong correction and takes a room offline, who owns that failure? #AVintheAM #AVtweeps
Q2 How much control would you actually give AI over a live AV system? Would you let it reboot a device, change routing, adjust settings or switch to a backup? #AVinTheAm #AVtweeps
Q1 Are we ready for AV systems that can diagnose and fix themselves before a user even knows there's a problem? #AVtweeps #AVintheAm
Back at it again... Heading to Salt Lake City for the UIAV show. Have a great Sunday #avtweeps #AVinTheAm
Due to my travel commitments, #AVinTheAm will not be published on Bluesky on Sunday, August 16, 2026. You can find it on LinkedIn and X using #Avtweeps. Thank you for your understanding.

Q5 What's the first lesson the industry taught you the hard way? If you could go back and give your first-day-in-AV self one piece of advice, what would it be? #AVinTheAM #AVtweeps
Q4 Who's the first person who made you feel like you actually belonged in this industry? Was this person a mentor or someone else? #AVinTheAM #AVtweeps
Q3 What's the first "big" project you got put on, and did you feel ready for it? Let me guess: you were thrown to the wolves. #AVinTheAM #AVtweeps
Q2 What did you think AV was going to be like before you got into it? Was the industry a complete mystery to you? #AVinTheAM #AVtweeps
Q1 What's the first AV trade show you ever attended, and what do you remember most about it? #AVinTheAM #AVtweeps
Q5: Are certifications still a differentiator, or just table stakes now? If so, what’s the next “must-have” certification in AV? #AVinTheAm #AVtweeps
Q4: What skills matter more than certifications today? Any advice for rookies? How about advice for the mid-career folks? #AVinTheAM #AVtweeeps
Q3: Any non-AV certification that’s helped your AV career? PMP, CAPM, RHCE, CCNA, Six Sigma, CSCP, or other... #AVintheAm #AVtweeps
Q2: Are manufacturer certs more valuable than industry ones in AV? Is this just an AV thing, or do manufacturer certs matter in other industries? How about in verticals like Live Events, Resi, Broadcast, UC, etc? #AVinTheAm #AVtweeps
Q1: What AV certification has truly been “worth it” for you? #AVintheAm #AVtweeps
Q5: If you look ahead 2–3 years… what’s the biggest shift coming to the AV business model that people aren’t talking about enough? And be honest: Are we keeping up with our end users, or are we already behind? #AvintheAm #Avtweeps
Q4: Are clients still buying AV solutions… or are they really buying business outcomes now? How has that changed the conversation for you? #AvintheAm #AVtweeps
Q3: Is the industry doing enough to simplify AV for the end user… or are we still overengineering the experience? Does AV confuse Commodization and Simplification? #Avtweeps #AvinTheAM
Q2: Are we doing enough to prove the ROI of AV… or are we still struggling to quantify our value to the business? #AVintheAm #Avtweeps
Q1: Are we still in the AV “projects” business… or have we officially shifted into a services and experience-driven industry? What are you seeing? #AvintheAm #Avtweeps
