The panel reviews what it truly means to run a "connected campus," exploring the benefits, hurdles, required workflows, stakeholder alignment, and how automation and virtualization are reshaping classroom support. But it's not all cloud talk! USC and UCLA are days away from their big Crosstown Cup rivalry game, making this the biggest weekly rivalry segment of the season. Expect good-natured trash talk, playful jabs, and a surprisingly collaborative discussion between two AV teams who are supposed to be mortal enemies. Along the way, the panel veers off the rails into corporate jargon, classroom design myths, camera panic ticket escalations, and the ever-expanding universe of AV podcasts and tools. As always, there's plenty of humor, plenty of trash talk, and just enough chaos to keep things interesting. Whether you care about AV architecture, cross-campus ecosystems, sports rivalries, or just want to hear two LA schools grin through their competitive tension, this episode has something for you.
