John Smith
Head of Integrated Technologies and Resources, University of the Highlands and Islands
Helping clients to understand and select appropriate audio visual solutions since 2001 - working for both specialist audio visual system integrators and also one of the largest independent IT services organisations in Europe.
I believe that well delivered technology solutions have a huge part to play in delivering true collaboration. Today's technology solutions genuinely have the potential to fundamentally change the way that we think about work.
CTS certified member of AVIXA carrying a number of accreditations that relate to audio visual best practice and the specification of audio visual technologies, control systems and videoconferencing.
On a day-to-day basis my role is to work directly with clients and help them to find the right solutions to make faster, more efficient business decisions and reduce the costs associated with unnecessary travel.
I'm offended by bad meeting room design and "false economy" design choices that do nothing but cause issues for end users and undermine key investments.
37 years in the AV Industry in 2023....I've seen and been part of how the industry has changed from the early days of Video Tape/Acetate Roll, through to remote meetings with many participants on screen. Now concentrating on my passion, large screens with digiLED, who's technology and unique service I've been recommending for 7 years.
