AVNation was created by Tim Albright for the purpose of bringing high quality broadcasts (or netcasts) to the AV community. Tim has envisioned building a network of industry professionals who are passionately engaged in furthering the AV industry through education and knowledge. One of the premiere functions of AVNation is to see industry professional provide first hand knowledge to other professional across North America and the World. The first AVNation podcast was the initial episode of AVweek – “The Pilot”, recorded July 29th, 2011. Ever since that first recording, AVNation has continued to grow it’s show offerings encompassing all aspects of the AV industry through weekly AVweek episodes, as well as many different monthly shows. We continue to have a wide variety of guests including industry professionals who work in or own integration firms, corporate industry leaders like Crestron’s Randy Klein, marketing powerhouses the likes of Cindy Gallop & Chris Brogan, and members of the AVNation advisory board.
