Weigh in on the value of your certification(s)!
Hello CTS Holders!
@Matt Morgan of @Ross Video started an interesting Discussion in the Xchange Community Chat Room asking, "Is Certification Worth It for AV Engineers & Technicians". He's looking for insights to help guide others weighing the value of certs and has invited CTS holders and those considering pursuing CTS and other certifications to share their journey and experiences.

What is the value of an AV internship...to the employer, the intern, and the industry?
I saw some great posts highlighting various internship programs for National Intern Day and would love to see us pool resources together for our NextGen AVers!
AV Solutions Providers, do you offer an intern program? Share some details about the skills you're fostering and what impact the interns are having on your business and staff. Are they transitioning into positions within your company? Please share comments and links for program details and opportunities!
Interns, tell us about your experience! What skills did you acquire? Would you recommend others explore opportunities as an intern in the industry? Do you anticipate pursuing a career in AV/IT/Broadcast?

Are you and your team participating in an Earth Day clean-up project, implementing sustainability policies or design methods, or devising innovative waste-reducing, energy-saving solutions?

What are Your Favorite "Behind the Music" Channels and Stories?
What iconic rock band was practicing in the studio when a pizza delivery guy headed down the hall and made history when he asked if he could add a piano track to the song they were rehearsing?
I love a good “behind the music” story and Adam Reader, Professor of Rock, referred to as a walking rock ‘n’ roll Wikipedia, has plenty of them! His YouTube channel has over a million weekly viewers. He’s conducted over 600 interviews with absolute rock legends and shares incredible stories of songs and bands from the 60’s to the 90’s.
Rick Beato and his channel “Everything Music” is another favorite. He shares his vast experience and knowledge of music as he reviews the mastery behind classic songs.
What are some binge-worthy channels you’re watching…and who knows what song the pizza guy played piano for?!!
Share a holiday or New Year greeting in your room!
Greetings, all!
Before signing off for the holidays, consider sharing a quick message with the community members in your room. It's a terrific opportunity to check in, thank them for being members, and offer support and well wishes in the coming new year....whatever is appropriate for your unique space.
Iulia and I are anxious to see which team will win the Ambassador challenge - can't wait to announce that in January!
Until then, thank you all for your contributions and support this year. I wish you a joy-filled holiday season.
Cheers to '24!
Lisa

@LEDDREAM Group has shared their win as "Best Integration in Shopping Centers 2023" and, based on the case study linked in the "Related Content" on their post, it's easy to see why!
Their dynamic multimedia digital facade project in the Puerto Venecia shopping Resort, Spain, is a culmination of immersive 3D, a rounded LED canvas that is visually stunning day and night, and an inviting grandstand area with stone bathed in light and color. Read their post, linked above, for project insights and explore the case study:
