Request for Advocates' Bios and Bulleted list of Expertise
Hello Advocates!
It's been exciting to see the impact of your ISE and InfoComm sessions! Your efforts are creating quite the buzz, both across the global ProAV industry and here internally at AVIXA. Our Live Content teams are always scouting out subject matter experts as webinar panelists, show speakers, and more, and have asked that I share an updated list of Advocates. I want to be sure I have your complete areas of expertise listed. I have recent lists from Sara, Mike, and Matt. Would everyone else kindly email me a bulleted list of topics for which you could be called upon to speak as an expert, panelist, or article contributor?
Also, should you be invited to present, it is helpful if I have your bio (just a paragraph) and hi-res headshot ready. If you haven't already, please send those to me as well.
Thanks!
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

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!
