InfoComm Introduces Wavelengths

Wavelengths, the new podcast series from InfoComm International, features a behind-the-scenes look into some of the programs and projects in which InfoComm and its members are involved, as well as issues facing the AV industry.

In this first edition, hosted by InfoComm's Duffy Wilbert, Senior Vice-President, Membership, Wavelengths looks at InfoComm’s involvement in social media, as well as InfoComm’s Performance Standards Program. We also take a trip back in time with AV Historian and industry legend Mackey Barron, President and Founder of HB Communications, who shares his perspective on where the industry has been and where it is going.

We hope you will enjoy this new communications vehicle. Please let us know what you think and if you have ideas for future topics to address.
