On This Episode of AV+
On this episode of the AV+ Podcast, AV industry veteran Jeff Singer, a marketing expert, discusses how manufacturers and others in our industry aspire to “own the room” with end-to-end solutions. Singer provides insights into how manufacturers can “own the room”; what kind of pivots manufacturers, integrators and the industry as a whole, need to make; and the skill sets needed to achieve this lofty vision.
Joined by host Dan Ferrisi, editor-in-chief of Commercial Integrator, Singer discusses the following:
- the drive to “own the room” with end-to-end, fully integrated solutions (1:45)
- how manufacturers are trying to solve the problem of interoperability (5:03)
- the need for better industry software development (8:15)
- …and much more!

- Every year, Commercial Integrator partners with NSCA to offer AV integrators an up-to-date forecast and analysis of the year ahead. And, this time, the need for insight into how to maximize business success in 2023 is more acute than ever. Integrators are, after all, facing a constellation of challenges: rising interest rates, persistent inflation, lingering supply-chain challenges, difficulty attracting and retaining top-tier talent, upward pressure on wages, global conflict and the very real possibility of a looming recession. Now is not the time to wing it!
View the a one-hour webinar archive, which will explore all of those topics, drawing on up-to-the-minute data from CI and NSCA’s annual survey of the integration community.
The Commercial Integrator Podcast
The term “pro AV” doesn’t do justice to the whole integration crowd, so we at Commercial Integrator wanted to create a pro AV podcast that speaks to all the areas (and there are many!) under the umbrella of commercial technology integration.
The host, Commercial Integrator editor-in-chief Dan Ferrisi, is looking forward to providing listeners with an entertaining, informative forum for all topics affecting the commercial AV industry.
