In this edition of Business of AV, @JosiahWay reflects on a conversation with UCLA architecture student Taha Jamshidi and what it reveals about the future of AV. As technology becomes more deeply connected to architecture, infrastructure, accessibility, and the user experience, Joe argues that AV can no longer be treated as something added to a room after the design is finished. The future belongs to teams that design the physical and digital experience together from the beginning. #avtweeps

Great article, @AV_JamesKing!
In this installment of IT in AV, @AV_JamesKing examines the safety risks of mounting AV equipment without properly evaluating the structures supporting it. Prompted by a tragic incident involving a falling display, James explores how budget pressures, compressed timelines, and overlooked structural concerns can have serious consequences. Drawing on insights from @JosiahWay, he emphasizes the importance of involving structural experts, coordinating with facilities teams, and speaking up when safety is at risk. #avtweeps

Everyone knows I have a special love for our student workforce, the ones who make everything happen every day at our institutions, which is why I loved sitting down with our @UCLAit AV/IT Solutions student worker, Taha Jamshidi, on this week's @HigherEdAV Podcast to talk about his role and continue to congratulate him for receiving the AVIXA Scholarship! 👏 Take a listen: higheredav.com/373-creating-…

Well, I just did the craziest impulse buy ever. Bought a 1oz gold bar at the Dubai airport. At least I can’t say it was a waste of money; I mean, it is literally worth its weight in gold. And now I have the biggest nerves knowing it’s in the overhead storage above my seat for the next 17 hours. 😂😬

In this edition of Business of AV, @JosiahWay reflects on how the HETMA Golf Classic and @educause 26 became something bigger than two events on the calendar. From raising money for the HETMA Prism Scholarship to building relationships across AV, IT, cybersecurity, manufacturers, integrators, and campus teams, Joe explores why the future of higher ed technology depends on people working across traditional boundaries and seeing themselves as part of the same community. #avtweeps #EDUCAUSE26

First pool day with UAE residency? It indeed does not suck. #rooftop #DubaiLife
I mean, Dubai couldn’t be the most advanced city in the world without a drive-through @TimHortons, right @Annbutterfly53?
ID and immigration services offices in the UAE are called “Customer Happiness Centers.” DMV’s in the USA could learn something that.

In this edition of Business of AV, @JosiahWay looks at a challenge many organizations overlook: building the support capacity to sustain the technology they invest in. Inspired by a recent conversation with Chris Harshfield, Joe explores how staffing, training, documentation, standardization, and smarter measurement can create a stronger foundation for long-term service. The goal is not just keeping systems running, but building support teams that can scale without burning people out. #avtweeps
