Another Year Rushing to a Close and Together, We’re Stronger Than Ever
Last year at this time, I wrote that we were confident that the pro AV world was bouncing back from the pandemic. We saw businesses regaining their footing and long delayed projects coming to life, while we looked forward to once again, meeting up with colleagues at trade shows and other industry events. We’re very happy to see that our holiday wish and forecast came true!
