Atlona Launches Interactive Livestream Series

Atlona announces a new interactive live stream series designed to bring AV professionals together worldwide for discussions on the AV industry’s past, present, and future. “The Hub ” will debut on August 23rd at 10 am EST with an episode focused on AV control and management. Hosted by Atlona Director of Marketing Garth Lobban, the episode will include three panelists whom viewers can interact with during the presentation via a live chat feature on YouTube. The episode will also stream live on Atlona’s Facebook and LinkedIn pages.

As Lobban explains, the general purpose of The Hub is thought leadership and education from a customer perspective and will include discussions of technologies used in AV projects from a system approach, not just a single black box. 

“By creating a forum that brings together integrators, consultants, end users, and Atlona subject matter experts, we can create an environment where the viewer gains insight on the challenges and solutions that AV professionals address while implementing technology,” Lobban said. “The challenges we face on all continents are similar, but with some unique flavors. We see The Hub as a valuable learning experience where AV professionals globally can share concepts and examples.”

Special guests for the August 23rd debut will feature: 

• Justin Kennedy, Product Manager – Control and Management at Atlona
• Mike Moriarty, Account / Project Manager at Connect Technology Group, LLC
• Jeroen den Dunnen, Head of Media, Entertainment & Technology at Grafisch Lyceum Rotterdam

Atlona has more episodes planned for the fall, with the next episode focusing on how wireless presentation platforms are being implemented in the global corporate and education verticals. 

“We are looking to have some fun with the platform, and develop a voice that will help us grow our audience with each episode,” said Lobban. “That requires creating something that will resonate with viewers, engaging them through interaction and compelling panelists. The Hub will differentiate itself from similar initiatives by having the designers and end users provide most of the insights for the presentation, and then share ideas with our subject matter experts and viewers online. We intend to start conversations and let them run.”
