MarketScale Pro AV 01/31/19: Is That Meeting Room Available?

 

There’s nothing more frustrating in the workplace than organizing a meeting only to find out the conference room is already being used. Well, maybe that one colleague who always steals your leftovers from the fridge is more annoying, but an unavailable conference room is a close second.

The modern office is utilizing pro AV to help avoid these headaches and help business get done. On today’s episode of the MarketScale Pro AV Podcast, Robert Parsons, Vice President of Sales for Taurus Technologies, joined us to discuss how technology is helping with the meeting scheduling process.

Also on this week’s episode of the show is a conversation with Dave Howden, Director of Technical Services for Community Professional Loudspeakers. He helps us preview the big ISE trade show coming up February 5-8 in Amsterdam. Be sure to follow along with MarketScale’s content from the show on our Pro AV industry page.
