Risk Aversion in AV?

Some risks aren’t worth, well, the risk. But risk aversion itself can be a bad thing for any business or industry. How well do you feel the pro AV industry handles risk? Are we largely accepting of it, or are we perhaps still lagging behind in “stinkin’ thinkin’”? What’s your take? I have always maintained that the AV world is one that does not fear risk the same way other tech fields might, because working to serve an audience directly often carries with it a need to be prepared for anything that might go wrong, rather than be afraid that it will. I’m curious how you feel about it!

Getting into AV: What door did you take?

Hi everyone - Leon here! One of the things I find very interesting about getting together for our tradeshows (like ISE in Barcelona) is getting to meet so many other professionals who have ended up in a very similar place, but who got there in very different ways. Even though we have a number of common paths into our industry, such as working as volunteers or freelancers in what we think is cool before then finding out this love can be a real job and career, I want to hear from you: What was your “door” into AV, either as a profession or a first interest?
