Does Meeting Equity Truly Exist?

LAVNCH WEEK 8’s ProAV Day is all about studying the latest issues affecting our industry. During the educational sessions, attendees will explore the as-a-service phenomenon as panelists answer the question of whether everything should be offered as-a-service or if we should keep some solutions offered as a one-time purchase. Attendees will also hear a forecast session about general ProAV market updates and trends and more.

Does Everything Really Need to be As-A-Service?
with Steph Beckett, Mike Boettcher, Justin Rexing, Alexis La Broi
In today’s day and age, it makes total sense for many products to be offered as-a-service — that is, as a subscription model rather than a one-time purchase. This allows for things like 24/7 support, easy updates and more. However, as we’re seeing more solutions on the ProAV and ProAV-adjacent markets offered this way, is it totally necessary for all software-based solutions to be aaS? Steph Beckett will explore the answer to this question and more with a panel of experts.
2:15 p.m.
