109: Frank Alaimo, Senior Audio Visual Systems Specialist, at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas

Higher Ed AV Podcast

This month's Tech Manger Spotlight (Presented by Sennheiser) guest, Frank Alaimo, Senior Audio Video Systems Specialist at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, joins the show to discuss my team's recent visit out to UNLV. We talk about their user-first configuration of Crestron Fusion and touch panels and the new Dolby Atmos theater (and how it's being used during the pandemic. We walk through the new Blackfire Innovation building, featuring eSports, AR, VR, a makerspace, open office design, and incubation lab, discussing how UNLV is uniquely positioned to connect students with industry. We complete the episode talking about the need for connecting with our people. COVID has done a lot for bringing us together, but nothing beats in-person connection, fellowship, and a beer. And... the "soapbox" returns for the second straight week, and it is a good one!
