How Did We Already Jump to Skynet?

Did Dave Labuskes change AVIXA, or did he change how the AV industry defines itself? CES 2026 sent a clear message with fewer cables, faster installs, and a serious rethink of what a video wall even needs. And as one industry leader put it, “AI isn’t experimental anymore” because 2026 is where edge intelligence, automation, and cybersecurity start separating hype from real-world impact.

In this must-watch AVWeek episode, host Tim Albright and his industry expert guests dig into the stories shaping commercial AV right now. From Labuskes’ lasting legacy at AVIXA, to the technologies from CES 2026 that actually matter, to where AI will deliver the biggest returns in 2026, this conversation brings clarity, context, and perspective you won’t get from headlines alone.
