Hi all, here's the link to the form used for nominating advocates and members to be featured in the community spotlight. Just wanted to keep it handy!
Advocate Nomination Form
Weigh in on the value of your certification(s)!
Hello CTS Holders!
@Matt Morgan of @Ross Video started an interesting Discussion in the Xchange Community Chat Room asking, "Is Certification Worth It for AV Engineers & Technicians". He's looking for insights to help guide others weighing the value of certs and has invited CTS holders and those considering pursuing CTS and other certifications to share their journey and experiences.

What is the value of an AV internship...to the employer, the intern, and the industry?
I saw some great posts highlighting various internship programs for National Intern Day and would love to see us pool resources together for our NextGen AVers!
AV Solutions Providers, do you offer an intern program? Share some details about the skills you're fostering and what impact the interns are having on your business and staff. Are they transitioning into positions within your company? Please share comments and links for program details and opportunities!
Interns, tell us about your experience! What skills did you acquire? Would you recommend others explore opportunities as an intern in the industry? Do you anticipate pursuing a career in AV/IT/Broadcast?
Share your Earth Day (and every day) AV industry impact!
Are you and your team participating in an Earth Day clean-up project, implementing sustainability policies or design methods, or devising innovative waste-reducing, energy-saving solutions?
What does your company do to support Sustainable AV? We'd love to learn about your efforts and activities! Share your stories, links to your posts and website.
Be sure to @tag someone you know who's walkin' the walk!
What are Your Favorite "Behind the Music" Channels and Stories?
What iconic rock band was practicing in the studio when a pizza delivery guy headed down the hall and made history when he asked if he could add a piano track to the song they were rehearsing?
I love a good “behind the music” story and Adam Reader, Professor of Rock, referred to as a walking rock ‘n’ roll Wikipedia, has plenty of them! His YouTube channel has over a million weekly viewers. He’s conducted over 600 interviews with absolute rock legends and shares incredible stories of songs and bands from the 60’s to the 90’s.
Rick Beato and his channel “Everything Music” is another favorite. He shares his vast experience and knowledge of music as he reviews the mastery behind classic songs.
What are some binge-worthy channels you’re watching…and who knows what song the pizza guy played piano for?!!
Share a holiday or New Year greeting in your room!
Greetings, all!
Before signing off for the holidays, consider sharing a quick message with the community members in your room. It's a terrific opportunity to check in, thank them for being members, and offer support and well wishes in the coming new year....whatever is appropriate for your unique space.
Iulia and I are anxious to see which team will win the Ambassador challenge - can't wait to announce that in January!
Until then, thank you all for your contributions and support this year. I wish you a joy-filled holiday season.
Cheers to '24!

Showcasing outstanding Audiovisual integration
@LEDDREAM Group has shared their win as "Best Integration in Shopping Centers 2023" and, based on the case study linked in the "Related Content" on their post, it's easy to see why!
Their dynamic multimedia digital facade project in the Puerto Venecia shopping Resort, Spain, is a culmination of immersive 3D, a rounded LED canvas that is visually stunning day and night, and an inviting grandstand area with stone bathed in light and color. Read their post, linked above, for project insights and explore the case study:

What are your experiences with Active Aid Listening?
I just read @Alexis Bou Farhat, CTS-D, CTS-I's post on Active Aid Listening Systems (ALS) and was excited to learn that "in the case of compatible hearing aids or cochlear implants, the neck loop can interface with these devices to provide an enhanced listening experience."
Are these devices commonly available in universities, houses of worship, auditoriums? And how do they work in a mobile environment such as an airport or shopping mall?

I'm just here to say that I passed my exam yesterday and I will no longer be checking these weekly posts. They have been a big help for me and confidence booster over the past year of preparing for the exam. It was still difficult but I got it done. Good luck to everyone. Also, the correct answer is C!
Congratulations, @Josh Salinas! Thanks for sharing your accomplishment - but consider monitoring the room's discussions from time-to-time so that you may lend your expertise! Best of everything to you -
@Sophie Balba, thanks for sharing your and keeping this topic top of mind. Having a supportive company culture and the right collaborative tools are truly essential for the hybrid and remote worker. And thanks for sharing the link to @T1Visions' Guide! I'm sure many will find it very valuable.
Spectacular! Thanks for including the video, @Ignacio Fossati! It must be an incredible live experience.
Thank you @Lisa Matthews, CTS - AVIXA and the team, for this incredible opportunity. Being an advocate has truly provided me with valuable benefits and meaningful connections.
That's great to hear @Mohannad Mousa, CTS, and a credit to my colleagues @Monisha Devaiah and @Franciele Mesadri - AVIXA for a program framework that benefits the entire community!
Thank you very much Lisa for giving us this space in the article and on the platform! I am so grateful to be part as an ambassador of this amazing network. Let's keep rocking!
@Camila Chavarri, we're so excited to host this space for the industry and witness its tremendous growth. I'm grateful for each of you who pass along your rich knowledge and experience, inspiring and educating one another! Your leadership shines and I'm thankful for your many contributions that have helped nurture Xchange! Rock on!
I like drone shows better; they aren't as wasteful as fireworks, and don't scare dogs (as much).
And so much safer! I love the creativity and skill behind this - and piping in Obi Wan audio - brilliant. I think we should start a petition to have the show return next June during InfoComm so we can all partake!
@Paul Konikowski So we need to collab at Sphere as an opening act to U2, yes?
@Paul Konikowski @Leon Prather, CTS I recall a stage set up at InfoComm in Orlando one year where attendees could learn how to mix live music. It was a real hands-on experience, and I imagine an opportunity for students as well as industry pros to learn while demo'ing some great gear. I would think there are a LOT of musicians who would take the stage for some impromptu collaboration! Anyone else out there recall the show floor training?
And then there's this inspiring story shared by Science of Kevin Piette, paralyzed for 11 years, empowered by AI to bear the Olympic Torch while walking! What a remarkable demonstration of the transformative potential for AI-powered mobility solutions. How do you see this impacting healthcare, sports, and more?
