“Employees want to have a high-level communication and collaboration experience whether they’re working from their home office or in a meeting room at headquarters, and pro AV professionals play a major role in creating that hybrid workplace of the future,” says Pam Taggart, AVIXA vice president of content creation. “According to AVIXA’s latest research, $58 billion will be spent on conferencing and collaboration solutions globally in 2023 and grow to $68.2 billion by 2028.
“The addition of Microsoft Teams Rooms Training to our training catalog is a huge benefit to AV professionals – they can now layer product-specific education on top of AVIXA’s foundational training. This training also brings together the distinct skills of AV and IT – professionals from both fields will broaden their knowledge and career potential.”
