AVI-SPL, in partnership with Neat, Q-Sys, and Sennheiser, recently hosted “Bytes & Bites” — a networking and knowledge-sharing event focused on current developments in the AV and digital transformation space.
The event brought together AV professionals, technology providers, and workplace strategists to discuss trends affecting modern workplaces.
The agenda featured two panel discussions, each highlighting specific challenges and opportunities within the industry.
Brad Weintraub, senior vice president of global strategic accounts at AVI-SPL, moderated the first panel. Speakers included Naveen Sridhara from Sennheiser and Niko Walraven from Neat. The discussion addressed India’s growing global capability centres (GCCs) and their increasing demand for scalable, experience-focused AV solutions.
Key topics included the move from installation-focused approaches to experience-led strategies, remote device management, workplace data analytics, and ongoing support beyond deployment.
The second panel was led by John Bailey, senior vice president of technology & innovation at AVI-SPL, and featured Santosh Kumar of Q-Sys and Mradul Sharma of 3CDN Workplace Tech. The discussion focused on the role of artificial intelligence in digital transformation.
Topics included AI’s impact on workflow automation, business intelligence, data privacy, and the need for ethical implementation.
