Paul Konikowski is is Computer and Information Systems Manager at Cronos LLC, where he works on secure military AV projects for the United States Government. He is also an AVIXA Xchange Advocate.

At InfoComm 2025, he'll join us for “AVIXA Xchange Advocates: Build a Thriving Pro AV Community” on AVIXA Xchange LIVE. In this free-to-attend panel, you’ll hear from Paul and three of his fellow Advocates as they share information about the Advocacy Program and how it has empowered them through networking and conversation with their industry peers.

Paul, what big idea do you hope attendees take away from your session?

Anyone can post on AVIXA Xchange, which democratizes the platform and levels the playing field.

What's one AV trend that excites you?

Immersive entertainment venues like the Las Vegas Sphere. I expect more of these to pop up soon.

If you could instantly master any AV skill or technology, what would it be?

I would like to leverage AI more. It is easy to generate sales proposals or documents, but I would like to use AI to generate accurate equipment lists, CAD drawings, and wire pull sheets.

What should people in the AV industry be talking about more?

Cybersecurity. Full stop.

Plug-in your crystal ball, and describe the future of AV… in one sentence.

"The best way to predict the future is to create it."

InfoComm is right around the corner. What’s your favorite part of being there?

The people. I enjoy seeing old coworkers in the halls and meeting new friends randomly.

I appreciate your advocacy for this community. I had seen emails about it but had not taken the time to look into until we talked about it. I am enjoying exploring the Xchange. I hope to help grow this community. I think the easiest way for me to do that is to take what I would post on Linkedin and post it here, and then share it to Linkedin as you suggested. I am starting to try that. I hope to see this community grow and become a great resource for our industry!
