## Resource

Recorded October 16, 2025 In this special Perspectives episode, Justin and Chris recorded live from ETC 2025 in Raleigh, NC, setting up in the middle of the action to capture conversations with Frank Alaimo from UNLV and Jim Spencer from Legrand. The panel digs into the real-world challenges facing campus AV teams today: modernizing aging classrooms, navigating procurement hurdles, managing user expectations, staffing shortages, and the never-ending push toward standardization and scalability. Expect candid stories, practical insights, a few jokes about geography and campus politics, and a grounded look at what's actually happening on campuses heading into 2025. Whether you missed ETC this year or just want the hallway-track vibe, this Perspectives episode brings the conference floor straight to your headphones.
