## Resource

AV's normally all about showing off the cool tech we put into spaces. But is it worth it to the clients to see how the sausage is made? We look into making AV invisible and how that benefits both client and integrator. Plus, artificial intelligence is making RAM prices skyrocket. But we need those chips to make our own gear! Where's the line before this gets well out of hand? The video version of this podcast can be found here. Even before we hit the show floor in Barcelona, there's plenty of AV news to go around! While Tim is gearing up for Integrated Systems Europe 2026, Patrick Norton takes the helm to get you the latest stories surrounding our industry. We also have a panel of experts to discuss these topics, including Dawn Meade, Willie Franklin and Brittany Delgado. Host:  Patrick Norton Guests: Brittany Delgado – Midwich US Dawn Meade – Dawn on LinkedIn Willie Franklin – Willie on LinkedIn This Week In AV: AV Magazine – French Government phasing out Zoom & Teams The Verge – Windows 11 suffering major patch issues AV Network – Microsoft Partners with PSNI Global Alliance AV Magazine – Meta Horizons Workroom shutting down Commercial Integrator – CTI named Integrator of the Year 2025 Roundtable Topics: The Verge – Surge in RAM Pricing due to AI AV Magazine – Logitech's New Rally See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info .
