@Iulia Popescu - AVIXA This idea seems totally crazy and fantastic at the same time! Thank you for your article showing how projection-mapped cakes are a brilliant blend of art and technology.
Perfect guide for creating stunning, interactive visuals!
Great article! I completely agree with your points about the AV industry’s challenges in sustainability, especially with energy use and e-waste. The push for energy-efficient designs and modular components is a step in the right direction, but as you mentioned, the pace of adoption needs to pick up. It’s refreshing to see this topic getting the attention it deserves—hopefully, more companies will start prioritizing these practices to make a real impact. Thanks for shedding light on this!

It's true that many businesses are still not fully engaged. How do you think we can better engage stakeholders in our industry to accelerate change and adoption of sustainable practices?

I think we are not doing enough yet, but there are very promising examples. Like you, we are promoting initiatives in Latin America to make the AV industry more sustainable, but it seems to be a subject that is not so popular, many businessmen are not yet involved, but we must insist and push so that together we can make a difference.
Thank you for your insights and efforts in Latin America! Raising awareness is key to driving change. What sustainable practices or innovations have you seen locally? Sharing these could inspire more in our global AV community!
Good Article, Thanks for your sharing your experience.
Thank You for having time to read it !
Modern buildings rely on PA and VA systems for communication and safety. While PA handles routine announcements, VA ensures clear evacuation guidance during emergencies. Integrated systems now combine both, reducing costs and improving efficiency.

Sustainable tech disposal is crucial in today’s world.
