Welcome: Cindy Davis, producer, AV/IT Summits, contributing editor of AV Technology 

 

In his keynote, Zielie will explore the evolution of the AV application in the enterprise from a focus on standalone highly customized integration to the current focus on huddle and multi-use spaces, and operational challenges brought about by the AV/IT convergence.

 

Drawing from operations and maintenance (O&M) best practices developed by IT, Zielie will discuss how these lessons-learned can be adapted and applied to the modern AV/IT practice to increase efficiency, user satisfaction and enable teams to adapt to a changing mission.
