An InfoComm Rookie interested in show advice and connecting with community members
Hello Council Members!
An Xchange member has posted in the InfoComm Room - it's his first trip to InfoComm. He's interested in learning about the show, particularly digital signage, and hoping to grab a meal or talk shop. I thought some here may connect with him, comment on his post, etc. He's a multimedia specialist from Penn State.
Thanks! See his post here: InfoComm rookie | AVIXA Xchange

Stay informed of Best Practices in Sustainability in AV
The increasing discussions within the community and efforts surrounding sustainability in the AV industry, particularly driven by AVIXA's Sustainability Advisory Group, have led us to create a more prominent space for content-sharing here on Xchange.
Please be sure to visit the Sustainability in AV Channel and click to FOLLOW so that you are notified of new content shared.
You'll also want to FOLLOW the AVIXA Sustainability Advisory Group. The group will share important updates on global sustainability initiatives and AV best practices and will also present at InfoComm 2025.
We encourage everyone to share what your company is doing to address the global directives and how you are working toward a more sustainable future. Share the steps you're taking and the conversations you're having in the new channel!
Welcoming our LatAm and APAC teams to the Xchange Advocates Room
Welcome all, to our secret Advocates Room! This is a space to share updates, resources, insights, and more. I look forward to future group calls and to bringing the regions together.
This is a quick note regarding the secret room (this also applies to those of you in council rooms): When drafting a post intended for a secret space, be sure to set Visibility to private. It is defaulted to public, which would make it visible to anyone on the platform.
Let me know if you have any questions and please, feel free to introduce yourself!

Suggestions for 60-panel LED Wall for live events
Greeting Council Members!
We've had a member post a question in the Community Chat that some of you may be able to help with. Perhaps you have some suggestions about technical features or can reference similar projects/experiences. He does rentals as well as installations/event management and is in need of 60 panels. Please comment on his post or reach out to him via a chat (start conversation) if you can offer any insights.
Thanks!

Hi Lisa, received this link in my email. What Video?
Hi Nicholas! Welcome to the community. The video is linked in the text in the original message - it's easy to miss. Here it is: https://www.avixa.org/av-topics/videos/The-AVIXA-Xchange-Welcome-to-a-Community-Built-for-Pro-AV/dDZEnjzG.
Let me know if you have any questions as you get started. Here are some additional resources: Beginning Your Journey on AVIXA® Xchange | AVIXA Xchange
Thanks for sharing this, @Craig Park. Some really helpful examples and powerful takeaways that I'm sure many will find timely and valuable.
I'd love to hear from others. Does your company host a roundtable or showcase wins in any way? What programs have you implemented or thought about launching?
Thanks for sharing the video and highlighting the work of the AVIXA Sustainability Advisory Group and its subcommittees. If you are interested in learning more or joining this vital working group, please contact @Stefan Lefebvre or email councils@avixa.org.
Hi @Chad Silvey, thanks for posing your question. I'm looping @Greg Bronson CTS-D in who has shared information on the EPR formula in the past: CTS-D Exam Guide (2nd Ed) Errata | AVIXA Xchange
@Kiosk Manufacturer Association, congrats on creating such a meaningful recognition program. Seeing the numerous examples of kiosks throughout your post is eye-opening - thanks for sharing the categories and case studies. I hope Xchange members take advantage of the opportunity to submit entries! We'll look forward to seeing the winners announced!
What fun! Another creative genius from @LEDDREAM Group!
For a few dollars more, check out the Airfly Pro. Having a small, pocket sized device that can be either a Bluetooth transmitter or receiver at the flick of a switch, has saved my bacon several times. I've used it live to get sources into my console at FoH, traveling in the car, and for presentations when my laptop sound card was acting up.

Awesome - thanks for the tip, @Michael Umile! Great examples that we can certainly relate to!
What a great line-up! Thanks, @Dana Jelter! Here in NC, our racetrack puts on quite the show too! Charlotte Motor Speedway offers a magical music-light synched drive-thru show that winds through the track and includes a holiday village and drive-in movie. And, just outside of Charlotte, there's the famous McAdenville (aka Christmas Town U.S.A) lights where the entire quaint Carolina town becomes a wonderland: Christmas Town U.S.A.® - McAdenville.
