What Is LAVNCH WEEK?

THE rAVe Agency, rAVe [PUBS] and Zoom partnered to bring you the best virtual launch event focused exclusively on AV education — designed for integrators, manufacturers, AV/IT tech managers, consultants, end users and more. LAVNCH WEEK 2.0, which was held June 22-26, 2020, was the second weeklong event under rAVe’s new LAVNCH (pronounced “launch”) platform for the AV, UCC and digital signage industries. It was like having a webinar, new product launch event and conference all in one. Each day of LAVNCH WEEK 2.0 focused on a different topic or vertical market. If you missed anything from the event, please register to review the on-demand content below.

Wednesday, June 24: New Tech LAVNCH Day

This day of LAVNCH WEEK 2.0 is devoted solely to something we’re all desperately missing by not being able to attend conferences this year — new product launches, like those you typically see on the trade show floor. Whether you’re an integrator looking for an upgrade or an AV/IT manager seeking the latest solutions for your institution, you could find it on New Tech LAVNCH Day.

Keynote

The Future of AV Is a Lot of UCC

Thursday

Thursday, June 25: EdTech Day

Education-technology (EdTech) managers have a unique role as both end user and in-house integrator slash designer slash technology guru slash therapist for the users of AV/IT equipment at their K-12 or higher-ed institutions. Though time is often fleeting for the EdTech manager servicing technology both on-premise and off-premise, we promise EdTech Day will be worth your time. Note: EdTech Day will only be open to those with an education email address.
