A note from AVPro Global CEO: 
Greetings from South Dakota! Memorial Day traditionally marks the beginning of summer, but summer waited an extra week this year – but it was sure nice to get outdoors and breath some fresh air! The market seems to have picked up a bit in May with more and more of the world starting to ease restrictions from the pandemic lock-down – and more integrators being allowed on job sites to complete work. We are hopeful that June is similar in growth as the easing of restrictions continues. With both InfoComm and CEDIA cancelled for the year we look forward to participating in many virtual events and doubling down on training. Look for details in the coming weeks for specific events, dates and times. You will enjoy the news this month with several articles, event & webinar schedules and human-interest stories.
