Mark your calendar to join NSCA Executive Director Chuck Wilson, Commercial Integrator Editor Tom LeBlanc and CI’s Integrator of the Year for the sixth annual State of the A/V Integration Industry Webcast on Jan. 20.
FRAMINGHAM, Mass. – The A/V integration business is demonstrating slow and steady growth as revealed in results of the Business Outlook survey, produced annually by SSI’s sister publication Commercial Integrator (CI) and the National Systems Contractors Association (NSCA). However, there is a vital need for many integration firms to step up their A/V-IT sophistication in order to keep pace with demands of clients and expectations of manufacturers.
