## Resource

“Microsoft’s move away from Surface Hub reflects a software-first UC future,” raising a bigger question about the role of touch displays today, as “AI continues to redefine how AV systems are designed and experienced,” and NAB 2026 makes it clear… “networked, interoperable workflows are now the baseline for Pro AV.” The video version of this podcast can be found here. Host Tim Albright and his expert panel return with another must-watch AVWeek episode, diving into shifting UC priorities, what matters in AI-driven AV sessions, and the technologies emerging from NAB 2026 that are shaping the next wave of Pro AV.
