Hello everyone! I am Gibran, and I am the social media manager at AVIXA. I will be chatting with all of you here and sharing insightful topics from the AV industry and the Xchange with the social media world.
Helping lead the charge of AVIXA's research efforts into the trends and opportunities in the pro AV industry. When not digging into data, speaking and writing about the trends, or discussing where to focus our research efforts next, I enjoy spending time outdoors on walks, hikes or fishing adventures. Though I also have a soft spot for consuming AV content in my DIY home theater, thanks to a love for good audio I get honest from my Dad!
