Happy Halloween, listeners!
 
In June of 2024, Chase Yenser “dressed up as an AV Professional” and attended Infocomm. In this episode, host Britt Yenser asks him to unpack that experience. Throughout the episode, they cover:

•  What it was like to attend Infocomm as an “outsider”
• His experience as a [white] man compared to her experience as a [white] woman
• His experience as someone who had “Higher Education” on his badge
• His reflections on what he wished had been different, as the spouse of a female AV professional
• …and more! 

Be sure to listen to the end to learn more about Chase and to hear our action items! 

We hope this episode feels like a treat, as it was not meant to be a trick. Chase attended Infocomm with the sole purpose of being a “dedicated swag collector” for the people who were too busy creating content and manning a booth to walk the show floor. After hearing some of his experiences, we felt brAVe [space] listeners should hear them, too. While this episode highlights some of the work that still needs to be done, we hope it also highlights the kindness and warmth of our industry as well.
