The Synergy Between Creativity and Innovation with Rachel Bradshaw of AVIXA

 

“Synergy” has become a bit of buzzword, which has the potential to diminish its power and validity. However, in some industries, it grows even more accurate with each successive use.

In Pro AV, the synergy between creativity and innovation is an ever-cyclical loop. On today’s podcast, our host spoke with Rachel Bradshaw, the Director of Program Design for AVIXA.

They discussed the scheduling reality of InfoComm, how technological innovations enable creativity (and creativity spurs innovations), and how eSports is the perfect evolution and creation of a totally new paradigm.

“I think that a lot of artists really view our tools as a medium, like paint, like marble. It’s one more medium for expression of creative ideas,” Bradshaw said. “But, when they find a partner, who themselves is a really creative or innovative AV practitioner, they discover that it’s more. That the creativity inherent in the AV industry empowers them to think in new ways about their own work.”

Clarity Under Pressure: Technology, Trust, and the Future of Public Safety
February 7, 2026

When something goes wrong in a community—a major storm, a large-scale accident, a violent incident—there’s often a narrow window where clarity matters most. Leaders must make fast decisions, responders need to trust the information in front of them, and the systems supporting those choices have to work as intended. Public safety agencies now rely…
