Today I had the opportunity to be a guest speaker at Dr. Yong-In Shin’s Emerging Technology class at the University Of Utah’s College Of Engineering. They asked me to share my insights on being an entrepreneur. Here’s what I discussed:
AV Week is InfoComm Internationals annual event to promote the audio-visual industry and its importance in the daily lives of consumers. Listen Technologiesjoined a host of companies and organizations across the country to celebrate InfoComm AV Week from October 16 23, 2011.
This blog post is reprinted with permission from rAVe [Publications].When I walked into the San Francisco Library this past Saturday, I was ready-to-go and excited to pour through every periodical, microfiche, encyclopedia and card catalog available to learn about the history of womens accomplishments and success in the AV industry. Theres Adele de Berri, founder of Da-Lite and inventor of the silver projection screen; there have been three female presidents of what we know today as InfoComm International; and women have contributed to film and movies since the silent film era. As I explained to staff I was researching the history of Women in AV, everyone enthusiastically went out of his or her way to scour resources and point me in new directions where I may have found data. Fantastic, I thought. If anyone knows how to find facts, its librarians!
On October 15 the Listen Trek Team will participate in the Salt Lake City Walk4Hearing™ to step up in support of the hearing loss community. Over the last nine months or so I’ve been involved with the local volunteer organizing committee planning the Walk. These are dedicated individuals that are working very hard so that walk day will be a lot of fun for people of all ages.
Last week I had the privilege of spending a few days with a group of thought leaders in our industry at an event called InfoComm 100. This event brings together high level executives from our industry and a few from outside the industry just to stir up the conversation.
Salt Lake may be a small city, but its big on women in technology. At yesterdays Women Tech Awards, more than 400 women engineers, inventors, entrepreneurs, and business leaders gathered to celebrate the best and brightest women in technology-related professions.
Last week I attended the Integrated Systems Europe (ISE) show in Amsterdam. Ive been attending the ISE Show for several years; however this year proved to be the show for Europe. The show boasted a 34,870 record attendance and was busy throughout all three days.
October 17 officially kicks off InfoComm AV Week 2010. InfoComm members in Utah got a little excited and began celebrating AV Week a bit early this year.
Pioneering a market is not easy, however in my opinion it’s a lot of fun if one is willing to put in the hard work and willing to stick with it.
Each year AV professionals celebrate the AV industry during a week in October known as AV Week. Audio Visual is a fun and exciting industry and AV products enhance the experience in many venues.
