Off the Rails Episode 69: A lightbulb, a gut check, and then a lightbulb

Recorded July 28, 2023

We’re joined by AV industry luminary, influencer, blogger, journalist, podcaster, and all around great person, Alesia Hendley, to talk InfoComm 2023, her journey through almost every vertical of the AV industry, and coming future trends.

We also discuss an article on why there isn’t a single, universal AVoIP standard and the growing influence of conference bars and all-in-one conferencing devices getting used in all the wrong spaces. Should pro audio companies really be getting into prosumer, IT-focused “room in a box” solutions?
