About Nicole Verardi
When I first started in AV, I remember hearing how AV professionals really care about the human experience, not just the tech. And it's true! I love connecting the dots to help people find the AV resources they need, building communities where people come together and being a part of such a vibrant (and welcoming) industry.

Topics for Marketing Meetup at InfoComm?
Who will be at InfoComm?
Add the Marketing Meetup to your calendar now: June 15 at 2 pm. (Check out the preview schedule -- more coming -- of Xchange LIVE in Orlando.)In the meantime, chime in with what you want the moderated Marketing Meetup to cover.
At ISE, we did a round-up of "keep, swap and avoid." Should we try the same concept at InfoComm? Or is there something else top of mind that you want to discuss with your AV marketing peers?

Growth Marketing vs Traditional Marketing?
Interesting take on the differences in two approaches to marketing: 3 Distinct Qualities of Growth and Traditional Marketing | Inc.com1. Resilience -- More trial and error with growth marketing vs the long-term plans for traditional. 2. Full-Funnel Focus -- Traditional marketing works on awareness and lead capture; growth marketing touches all parts of the funnel. 3. Methodology -- Growth marketing allows you to make decisions based on real-time data and results, whereas traditional marketing can be based more on professional opinion and overall trends.
What are you seeing in AV marketing -- more traditional or more growth approaches? A blend of the two?
A CTS Challenge for InfoComm
Thinking about adding those three letters to your name at InfoComm? (You can find out how to do that here.)
Here's an inspirational story from last year's show. Phil Ayache, CTS-D, CTS-I, took ALL THREE exams in one day. Watch his video. Warning: Not recommended to tackle the same challenge ;-)

CTS Exams Online Now
Now that you can take the CTS exam online -- at your own house -- maybe we should do a contest for best slippers for newly-minted CTS holders? Any #CTSPrepper out there interested in sharing their choice of comfy socks or slippers while earning those three letters?

Leads are topping that list. Curious to know what AV marketers are doing to bring in those new people. What's working well?

Hi, Elizabeth! Happy to hear you enjoyed the event.
Can check on the stats. But, in the meantime, wanted to make sure you saw this write-up: InfoComm 2023: AV Marketers Meetup & Networking | AVIXA Xchange.
