AV in Furniture is Leading the Evolution of the Workplace with Aaron Rubner & Robert Parsons

 

AV and furniture. AV in furniture. It sounds like two subjects you’d never hear colliding, but that couldn’t be more untrue. The balance between the interior design of a functional work or creative space and the AV powering that space is delicate and very intentional. Does your meeting room have a historic 20th-century oak table but you want seamless charging stations and ethernet inputs? It looks like you’re going to have to drill a hole in that heirloom. It’s a problem AV integrators have faced time and time again.

Aaron Rubner, CEO and President of AVTEQ, along with Robert Parsons, Vice President of Sales for Taurus Technologies, came into the MarketScale Studio to look at more of the biggest pitfalls business owners fumble into when AV integration is a secondary thought. Parsons and Rubner also take a hard look at the huddle room, and why they’re one of the biggest markets for innovative AV-integrated furniture. “We’re starting to see people understand that thinking about how furniture can be functional and technical is just as important if not more important than its overall look at the end of the day,” Parsons said.

These are not purely aesthetic problems; they are…

June 8, 2026

Creative careers rarely move in a straight line, especially for writers working across stage, screen, audio, books, and independent film.

June 8, 2026

Electronic medical records (EMRs) have moved from a back-office upgrade to a frontline determinant of care quality, clinician burnout, and hospital economics. With U.S. hospitals often spending tens to hundreds of millions—sometimes exceeding $100 million—on EMR implementations, the stakes have never been higher for getting both the technology and the human adoption right.
