## Resource

What happens when digital signage stops glowing and starts behaving like paper? And here’s the uncomfortable question higher ed keeps dodging. Are universities investing in AV that actually improves learning or just buying shiny tech because the budget says spend it? The video version of this podcast can be found here. In this must-watch AVWeek episode, host Tim Albright and his industry expert guests unpack where e-paper fits into the future of commercial AV and take a hard look at AV spending in higher education. From sustainability and use cases to real-world value and waste, the panel dives into what matters and what doesn’t.
