Whether it’s AV for a streamed conference and professional collaboration or it’s the sound and lighting for an international music tour, AV needs to work with IT teams and to leverage technology to get the job done right and ensure a high quality experience. Whichever you started with learning (software or audio engineering) the worlds of information technology and audiovisual technology are merging and converging in real-time, with less and less lag. This session will discuss the art and science of the AV and IT experience, the left and right brain of creativity within a framework, and share some examples of how to think about it with perspectives and experiences from big tech, entrepreneurship, daily tech, and live production. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
