I lead AVIXA’s Latin America marketing and communications initiatives and I look forward to making new connections on the Xchange.

As Content Manager, I develop both in-person and digital programs for AVIXA. I'm always looking for new content ideas that highlight topics and trends of importance to the AV industry, particularly in the areas of Content Production and Streaming, Learning and Live Events. My favorite part of my job is finding cool immersive experiences for our tours during InfoComm. Contact me at mwalsh@avixa.org with your thoughts.

All this, while thriving in a multicultural setting of teammates from across the globe.
