After a hot and humid week in Orlando, the crew of The AV Life reconnects to swap stories, shout out favorite moments, and wind down from another whirlwind InfoComm. With Tim Van Woeart back at the helm, the team dives into their personal takeaways from the show floor, standout booth designs, and a few philosophical detours about the AV community itself. It’s equal parts reunion, recap, and real talk.
Nancy Blanchard, Renee Benson, and Murphy Daley join Tim for this informal, wide-ranging episode that celebrates what makes InfoComm special beyond the gear: the people. Whether they’re hyping up Canadian karaoke, marveling at logistics, or reflecting on AV’s evolving landscape, the crew brings insight, laughter, and a big dose of post-conference camaraderie.
