Our readers wanted to know about the genesis of the Tweetup, an event where AV industry professionals get together during InfoComm to hang out and network. AV Technology’s content director, Cindy Davis went to one of the event originators, Tim Albright, President of AVNation Media.
Albright said, “The Tweetup happened rather organically at InfoComm. Twitter (now X) had become a popular gathering point for all sorts of AV professionals. With the rise of the hashtag #AVTweeps, people from all over the industry had a spot to share ideas, concerns, and trends. When they all gathered at InfoComm in 2011, the idea was struck to meet these disparate Twitter fellows IRL (in real life).
