About this episode

This episode discusses Cisco's collaboration strategy and the importance of quality over quantity in trade show attendance.

Is Cisco redefining the rules of collaboration, or simply responding to where the market is already headed? Meanwhile, InfoComm is raising an important conversation: success isn't always measured by attendance, but by who walks through the doors and why they came. The video version of this podcast can be found here.  Host Tim Albright and his industry expert guests return with another must-watch AVWeek, tackling the biggest conversations in commercial AV. From Cisco's evolving strategy to whether InfoComm should prioritize growth, quality, or both, this episode delivers the insights that matter.
