Extron, a leading name in the AV industry, has announced its sponsorship of the National Systems Contractors Association's (NSCA) XBO Experience. This move reflects Extron's commitment to nurturing industry leaders and fostering growth and development for new professionals.
The XBO Experience, which will take place at Georgia Tech in Atlanta, GA, is designed for emerging talent in the system integration industry. This event caters to the next generation of system integrators, offering a unique platform for learning, networking, and skill enhancement.
The XBO Experience focuses on ongoing and emerging trends in the industry. This year, the event highlights the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and automation across multiple system types to enhance performance and user experience. These innovations represent key growth areas that profoundly impact systems integrators and the end-user experience.
In addition to AI and automation, the XBO Experience emphasises leadership development and education for the next generation of integrators. Training resources like the Next-Gen Academy and scholarships are offered to prepare future industry leaders in business operations and integration.
The Excellence in Product Innovation awards, now presented at the XBO Experience, signal a shift toward recognising products that not only introduce breakthroughs but also address critical business and operational challenges faced by integrators. This demonstrates a broader industry focus on solutions that improve system efficiency, safety, and automation, supported by AI and machine learning capabilities.
Extron's membership in NSCA aims to provide valuable resources and insights for young professionals in the integration industry. Tom LeBlanc, NSCA executive director, stated that Extron's support for the XBO Experience addresses workforce and leadership development obstacles in the integration community.
Extron's involvement in the XBO Experience is expected to contribute to the fostering of growth and development for new professionals in the AV industry. Tom LeBlanc also expressed his gratitude, stating that Extron's support is much appreciated by NSCA as it helps address significant business challenges for companies in the NSCA community.
Extron is committed to contributing to NSCA's mission through its advanced AV technology solutions and industry expertise. The company is excited about collaborating with NSCA to advance the AV industry and develop professionals for future challenges.
In summary, the XBO Experience spotlights three key trends: the integration of AI and automation across multiple system types to enhance performance and user experience, a broadened recognition of innovations that solve integrators’ operational challenges, and investment in leadership training and foundational business skills for emerging professionals in system integration and life safety.
