Adopting a “Gen Z” State-of-Mind…for the Workplace

By 2020, Gen Z-ers (those born between 1995 – 2015) will account for one-third of the U.S. population – & over the next 10 years, these “digital savants” will be taking-over corporate America.

Climate Change & the AV Industry

The 2019 United Nations’ Climate Action Summit was held at the UN Headquarters in New York City on September 23.
