HETMA

The official advocacy organization for the higher education vertical in the professional AV industry.

Standardization is a core part of supporting AV across higher education, but it’s easy to take it too far. In this piece, Dustin Myers looks at how institutions sometimes drift from consistency into uniformity, and what gets lost when every room is forced into the same mold. Drawing on real examples, he explores why good standards should focus on how spaces function, not just what equipment they contain, and why flexibility is still critical as AV continues to evolve. #avtweeps

Learning does not stay in one kind of room anymore. Classrooms, hyflex spaces, meeting rooms, content capture setups, and informal collaboration areas all need technology that faculty and students can use without turning every session into a support call.

@Logitech is bringing an education-focused portfolio to InfoComm 2026 with Rally Board 65, Rally Camera Streamline Kit, Logitech Scribe, Logitech Reach, Mevo, and Rally AI Camera Pro. For higher ed teams looking at simple deployment, ease of use, and campus-wide scale, this booth is worth a stop.

Find Logitech at Booth C7050.

Standardization is not just about choosing the same gear over and over. It is about making classrooms and meeting spaces easier to deploy, easier to support, and easier to scale when the next building, refresh, or use case shows up.

@KramerElec is bringing that lens to InfoComm 2026 with the KDS-17 Lite 4K60 AVoIP transceiver, AV-Studio for IP video streaming and multiview workflows, the expanded PR PRO all-in-one matrix switcher family, Panta Rhei cloud management, Ashton Bentley meeting room solutions, USB-C presentation switching, Dante speaker solutions, and broader education AV tools. For higher ed teams looking at the physical and digital layers of room standards together, this is worth a stop.

Failure is not the end of the story, and @tdalbright’s new book Building on Ashes proves that what feels broken may still hold the foundation for what comes next. In this honest conversation, @JosiahWay and Tim unpack failure, grief, resilience, and the hard but hopeful work of learning how to build again. #avtweeps

Immersive spaces work better when they are not treated like a specialty room only one department knows how to use. The more interesting question for higher ed is whether the space can support real teaching workflows across campus.

@IglooVision is bringing its Igloo Immersive Classroom to InfoComm 2026, powered by Igloo Core Engine 2.0. The booth will show shared, headset-free immersive learning for simulation, virtual field trips, design visualization, student content creation, and multi-Igloo collaboration. For teams thinking about flexible immersive spaces that can serve more than one program or use case, this is worth seeing in person.

InfoComm is the Super Bowl of the AV industry. And HETMA and Higher Ed AV Media are there to make it an experience to remember. Listen as @JosiahWay breaks down the week along with members of the HETMA Board and Chairs. #AVTweeps #InfoComm2026

Lecture capture is not just about recording the front of the room anymore. It has to fit hybrid learning, accessibility expectations, video workflows, and the support realities that come with scaling across campus.

@EpiphanVideo is coming to InfoComm 2026 with the EC20 PTZ Camera, Pearl Nexus, Epiphan Edge, and a preview of its in-development Agent-ready AV work. For higher ed teams looking at purpose-built lecture capture and classroom video workflows, this is a booth to have on the tour list.

Not every AV conversation starts in a classroom. Sometimes the clearest examples of connected experience design come from spaces where content, production, displays, control, audio, lighting, and audience participation all have to work at the same time.

@DiversifiedUS is bringing that idea to InfoComm 2026 with The Pitch, a self-guided, sports-inspired activation built around the energy of the World Cup. For higher ed teams thinking about arenas, event spaces, athletics, esports, student engagement, and campus storytelling, it is a useful look at how one technology ecosystem can support many audiences and many moments.

Consistency gets noticed most when it is missing. A classroom touchscreen, camera, audio path, and collaboration platform all have to feel like one room, not four separate systems asking faculty to figure them out.

@Crestron Electronics is bringing a broad education story to InfoComm 2026 with Collab Compute, 80 Series touchscreens, DM NAX, intelligent video enhancements, 4-Series MPCs, BYOD and native Zoom and Microsoft Teams solutions, modular audio, and automated switching for 1 Beyond cameras. For higher ed teams thinking about content, collaboration, and control at campus scale, this is a booth worth building into the show plan.

Audience audio is one of those things that can make a session feel open and participatory, or make everyone stop trying after the first awkward handoff.

@catchbox is bringing its Catchbox Plus system to InfoComm, with Hub DSP as the main focus, along with the Clip, Stick, and throwable Cube microphone options. For higher ed teams, the interesting piece is not just the throwable mic. It is the attempt to simplify in-room audio with onboard DSP, Dante connectivity, automixing, feedback suppression, USB integration, and fewer separate boxes to manage.

Audio is one of those room problems that does not stay contained. When it is off, faculty feel it, students feel it, and support teams usually hear about it fast.

Biamp is coming to InfoComm 2026 with an education-focused booth preview around scalable room kits, Biamp Workplace network management, the BMA360D array microphone, and the continued development of Biamp Launch for faster room tuning. For higher ed teams trying to keep classrooms, meeting spaces, and larger learning environments consistent without adding unnecessary support burden, this is one to track.

The HETMA Roadshow in Mechelen, Belgium, proved something bigger than any single event. It proved the EU market is ready, eager, and asking for more. What happened over two days in a beautiful historic city showed how honest conversation and shared purpose can turn curiosity into momentum for a truly global movement. @JosiahWay unpacks this in the latest Business of AV article. #avtweeps

Some weeks the install is the easy part. The harder work is keeping rooms, services, users, and support expectations aligned once the campus is fully using them.

@avisplinfo is bringing that full-lifecycle conversation to InfoComm 2026 with Symphony, XTG, immersive experiences, real-time design, sustainability efforts, and global services all tied into one booth experience. For higher ed teams balancing refresh cycles, staffing pressure, standards, and support visibility, that is the kind of walkthrough worth putting on the list.
