AV SuperFriends: Perspectives From InfoComm 2024 Episode 04

In this episode, we delve into the concept of being "qualified" in the workplace, examining who gets labeled as such, who doesn't, and the underlying reasons. We explore "competency checking"—the practice of scrutinizing individuals' abilities—and how it disproportionately affects underrepresented groups, often going unnoticed or unchallenged. Our discussion aims to redefine qualifications in a fair, equitable, and actionable manner. Our guest, Shari Dunn , is an accomplished journalist, former attorney, news anchor, CEO, university professor, and sought-after speaker. She has been recognized as Executive of the Year and a Woman of Influence, with her work appearing in Fortune Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, Ad Age, and more. Her new book, Qualified: How Competency Checking and Race Collide at Work , unpacks what it truly means to be deserving and capable—and why systemic barriers, not personal deficits, are often the real problem. Her insights challenge the narratives that hold so many of us back and offer practical solutions for building a more equitable future. Together, we can build workplaces and communities that don’t just reflect the world we live in, but the one we want to create. A world where being qualified is about recognizing the talent and potential that’s been overlooked for far too long. It’s not just about getting a seat at the table—it’s about building an entirely new table, one designed with space for all of us.

Larry, Justin, and Chris invade the Computer Comforts booth to talk classroom furniture, the development process, partnerships with university customers, and even some new ideas that Chris totally invented on the spot. We also welcome by a motley crew of fellow higher ed tech managers from the adjacent HETMA booth to talk about their experiences at InfoComm thus far.

Recorded January 24, 2025 We’re joined by Colin Birney who highlights how MSPs operate as a tier-two support system, providing expertise and assistance for institutions that may not have the resources to manage their AV systems effectively. This model allows for a more streamlined approach to troubleshooting and ensures that educational institutions can focus on their primary mission: teaching and learning. The discussion also touches on the often amusing colloquial names given to various campus spaces. We all recount our experiences with confusing room names that can lead to miscommunication and frustration. With so many rooms named after donors or faculty members, it’s easy to see how someone might struggle to locate the “Mitchell Room” when their ticket only says “Room 101.” All this and the news, too!

We’re discussing our favorite AV "side dishes"—those unsung heroes in AV systems that make everything work smoothly. As they gather for a virtual Thanksgiving dinner, the AV SuperFriends explore the role of HDMI extenders, button panels with built-in processors, and ever-useful IP-controlled power distribution. They also dive into the intricacies of network video decoders and the importance of networking with other institutions to share knowledge and ideas. Plus, they tackle the age-old debate of stuffing versus dressing and the best way to enjoy a Frosty with fries. But it wouldn't be an AV SuperFriends episode without a bit of mayhem.

Recorded throughout October 2024 In our biggest production ever, we’re proud to present AVSF: The Ghost in the Machine. The AV SuperFriends are called upon to fix haunted classrooms on campus. Join the team as they venture into the heart of the haunting, battling against time and supernatural forces to uncover the secrets buried beneath the campus. With humor, teamwork, and a touch of the paranormal, this episode promises thrills, chills, spills, bills, and a few laughs along the way. This was 3 months of work, 11,000 words, 45 pages, 12 speaking roles, a cast of your favorite AV nerds, 8 original songs, 30 minutes of original score, and 120 minutes of utter AV SuperFriends nonsense. Be sure to check out the version on YouTube with 20 images synced to the story to really get the full multimedia experience. It’s a sequel to last year’s special, but you don’t have to be familiar with that episode to enjoy this one. What are we going to do next year to top it?
