The new AVPro Global education/training A/V laboratory center in Florida

Well…AVPro Global is at it again. No, they didn’t acquire another company. No, they didn’t launch some insanely great new product series. This time, the company has introduced a seriously advanced educational program series – and in order to facilitate that, they built a brand new, state-of-the-art “Audio/Video Laboratory.”

Clearly, over-achievers…the company is as dedicated to providing innovative and upgraded support solutions to the channel as they are innovative, problem-solving products that integrators rely on every day.

Finally, after two years without a real show – absolutely no show in 2020, and a very tiny one in 2021 – the industry comes together again for its one big show of the year – the CEDIA Expo 2022.

See What Education CEDIA has Planned for Expo 2022

In a special briefing for the media, new CEDIA Vice President of Education and Training Amanda Beckner revealed the organization’s upcoming program for this year’s CEDIA Expo coming this Fall. It was instantly clear that Beckner, formerly involved with AVIXA education, completely understands both the importance of and the unique demands of education in a technical association.

It was also clear that the Association is taking a fresh look at ways to elevate CEDIA’s education to the next level. And that is a good thing.

PART 1: Identifying Membership ‘Stress Points’

In a Zoom interview last week, I sought to take more of a measure of the man who now runs CEDIA, its new Global President and Chief Executive Officer Daryl Friedman. We first met, and I first told you about Friedman, back when his selection was first announced to the world just a little over 100 days ago. Friedman was in a series of round-robin press interviews and we only had a few minutes to interact. Now, 106 days later (at the time of this interview) he’s traveled the country, gotten his feet wet, and had much more depth of thoughts to share with Strata-gee readers.
